NVIDIA folds transcription, speaker labeling and translation into one open-weight model: 40 languages, one-hour audio
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, an open-weight checkpoint that combines transcription, speaker diarization, translation and audio question answering, covering 40 languages for transcription, 31 languages translated to or from English, and speaker attribution in 13, with recordings up to an hour and up to eight speakers. Previously a transcript could capture every word yet still leave users unsure who said what or how to translate it. Developers steer output with natural-language prompts and adapt vocabulary through Granary v2 data and fine-tuning; in a medical case study, fine-tuning cut word error rate on held-out speakers by 45.8% relative to the best prompt.
