About Deepgram
Diarization v2 lands with a 3.3× human-eval edge — Deepgram's contact-center push gets sharper.
Deepgram is shipping in two coordinated lanes: deeper transcription quality (Nova-3 multilingual numerals, Gujarati, profanity filtering across 50+ languages) and a maturing Voice Agent API (managed LLM swaps, third-party TTS controls). The new opt-in diarize_model=v2 brings a new architecture preferred 3.3× over v1 in human eval, with the biggest gains on contact-center audio. Self-hosted images and multi-language SDKs are released on a tight, predictable cadence.
