About This AI

Scribe V2 is ElevenLabs’ state-of-the-art speech recognition model launched in January 2026, offering the highest transcription accuracy across diverse audio conditions.

It excels in batch transcription, subtitling, and captioning at scale for long-form content, with built-in entity detection (up to 56 categories like PII, health, payments) and precise timestamps.

Features include keyterm prompting for context-aware results (up to 100 words/phrases), automatic multi-language detection/transcription, smart speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, and dynamic audio tagging (laughter, footsteps, etc.).

Scribe V2 Realtime variant provides ultra-low 150ms latency for live agents, meetings, and conversational AI in over 90 languages.

Improvements over V1 include better stability, handling of pauses/tone changes/silences, and lowest word error rates on benchmarks.

Enterprise-ready with SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR compliance, EU/India data residency, and zero retention mode.

Available via API and ElevenLabs Studio for marketing, media, research, training, compliance, and global content workflows.

Pricing is usage-based starting around 0.40 per hour (lower at scale), with flexible plans for startups to enterprises.

It powers accurate subtitles/captions/transcriptions, enabling automation for large audio/video libraries.
