What Nemotron Transcribe Does Differently

No single transcript format suits every reader. Nemotron Transcribe lets you describe the convention you need in plain language — and then follows it.

  • Transcription Styles Set by Instruction
    Verbatim, written-form, contextual or speaker-attributed output — the style is chosen per request, simply by what the instruction asks for.
  • Speech-Augmented Language Model Design
    Pairs a speech encoder and a frozen diarization model with a 30B-A3B hybrid MoE LLM running at roughly 4.3B active parameters.
  • Open Weights Plus a Fine-Tuning Toolkit
    OpenMDW-1.1 weights arrive in BF16, FP8, NVFP4, GGUF and DFlash2 formats, together with the NeMo Speech toolkit for Nemotron Transcribe.

Running Nemotron Transcribe in Three Steps

Serve a checkpoint, write the instruction, then decode and align — that is the entire path to an attributed transcript.

Core Capabilities of Nemotron Transcribe

Leaderboard-topping accuracy, speaker attribution for overlapping talk and fast NIM inference — the strengths Nemotron Transcribe delivers.

Leaderboard-Topping ASR Accuracy

A mean WER of 4.71% across the nine English Open ASR test sets, and 4.62% on the multilingual board.

Attribution That Handles Overlapping Speakers

From one-minute clips to full meetings, it is the first SALM to outperform cascaded systems on attributed ASR.

Contextual Transcription Driven by Entity Lists

Supplying expected entities cuts named-entity errors six-fold on ContextASR-Bench, powered by the parallel expert encoder.

Per-Speaker Word Timestamps

A compact CTC adapter maps the finished transcript back onto the audio, so long overlapping calls still return timings for every speaker.

High-Throughput, Efficient Inference

The model's MTP layer or a DFlash2 draft model speeds up decoding; the NVFP4 NIM processes 2,238 audio seconds per second on a single RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell.

New Tasks Adapted on a Single GPU

A supervision-balanced mixture lets one GPU absorb new languages and domains in roughly 0.5–2.3 GPU-hours per task.

FAQ

Nemotron Transcribe: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about Nemotron Transcribe — benchmarks, language coverage, timestamps, licensing and the checkpoints you can download.

1

What exactly is Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe?

It is a speech-augmented language model that combines a speech encoder, a frozen diarization model and a 30B-A3B hybrid MoE LLM in one system.

2

Which transcription styles can I ask for?

Verbatim, written-form, contextual, speaker-attributed and rich transcription, plus translation and language ID — each one selected through an instruction.

3

How accurate is it on public benchmarks?

It scores 4.71% mean WER on the nine English leaderboard sets and 4.62% multilingual, while making six times fewer named-entity errors on ContextASR-Bench.

4

How long can a recording be, and how many languages are covered?

A single Nemotron Transcribe checkpoint handles recordings of up to one hour across 40 languages, code-switched speech included.

5

Can it show who spoke and when?

Yes. Overlapping multi-speaker audio is attributed per speaker, and per-speaker word timestamps come back whenever you request them.

6

What license and checkpoints ship, and can I fine-tune?

OpenMDW-1.1 weights are released as BF16, FP8, NVFP4, GGUF and DFlash2 files, and NeMo Speech fine-tunes them in about 0.5–2.3 GPU-hours per task.
