Overview
MAI-Transcribe-2 is a preview speech-to-text model from Microsoft AI. It transcribes recorded audio on POST /v1/audio/transcriptions; it is not available in voice sessions, and POST /v1/audio/translations refuses it.
It covers 60 languages and detects the language automatically when none is set, including Hinglish and other code-switching. Set language to a single code if you want to pin it; hi and hi-IN both work, and a language outside the list returns 400. A file can run up to 2 hours, within the route's 25 MB upload limit. WAV, MP3, FLAC and Ogg are accepted.
Preview: Microsoft ships this model without an SLA and may change or retire it at short notice. If it is retired, the ID keeps working and is answered by a named successor, so transcripts may differ. Use a generally available model for production-critical workloads. It is not processed in India, is paid-plan only and is never a default.
