Speech-to-text
built for
the real world

Other transcription models were trained on clean audio. Plaud's is trained specifically for in-person meetings, clinics, and the field — where conversations actually happen.

Transcription waveform with speaker-tagged snippets

Hardware + software
advantage

Superior audio quality and metadata from the devices, plus fine-tuned transcription models for real world environments.

01

Directional Microphones

Multi-directional microphones capture speech for better diarization, while beamforming focuses on active speakers.

02

On-Device Algorithms

VPU runs real-time signal processing to clean audio for better downstream transcription accuracy.

03

Pre-processing & Denoising

Spectral subtraction and adaptive filtering strip background noise, HVAC, crowd chatter before any upload.

04

Transcription API

Transcription API intakes audio and metadata to deliver high accuracy, speaker-diarized transcripts in JSON.

What you get back

Speaker diarization

Automatically identify distinct speakers in every conversation, with a labeled transcript.

112 languages

Support multiple languages in a single conversation, with published accuracy benchmarks for each language.

Real numbers.
Real environments.

These aren't benchmark lab numbers. They come from testing in the same conditions your users work in.

A public benchmark run by Mozilla, used across the industry to measure transcription accuracy.

Get transcripts
your way

Two delivery methods. Use webhooks for real-time push delivery. Use polling as a fallback or for simpler integrations.

Webhook delivery

Register an HTTPS endpoint in your dashboard. When a transcript is ready, we POST the full result to your endpoint. No polling, no delays, no wasted requests.

  • Latency: <2 seconds from recording sync completion
  • HTTPS POST with HMAC signature for verification
  • Automatic retry on failure (3 attempts, exponential backoff)

Polling fallback

Poll our REST API endpoint to check if a transcript is ready. Simple to implement — no webhook server required. Available on all plans including the free Developer tier.

  • GET /v1/recordings/{id}/transcript
  • Returns 202 Accepted while processing, 200 OK when ready
  • Recommended poll interval: every 5–10 seconds
