Speech-to-text
Expanded definition
Automatic speech recognition models transcribe live or recorded audio. Quality depends on language, domain vocabulary, overlap, and noise. Production stacks add diarization, custom terms, PII redaction, and streaming vs batch modes. On GenAIWiki this maps to models such as Whisper, Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, and MAI-Transcribe. Transcription is not understanding; summarization and action items are a second model pass.
