ElevenLabs releases Scribe v3 and Scribe v3 Live speech-to-text models

ElevenLabs released two speech-to-text models, Scribe v3 for pre-recorded audio and Scribe v3 Live for low-latency real-time use, both available through the ElevenAPI developer interface and the ElevenAgents platform. The company says Scribe v3 cuts word errors by about 25 percent versus its predecessor across 102 languages, and Scribe v3 Live uses conversational context to tell when a speaker has actually finished instead of relying on pause timers. Independent benchmarks from Artificial Analysis place Scribe v3 among the most accurate transcription models, trailing only an Alibaba preview model, but show it lagging on speed and priced at $3.33 per 1,000 minutes.
