🔥 Key Features

• 🕒 60-minute Single-Pass Processing: Unlike conventional ASR models that slice audio into short chunks (often losing global context), VibeVoice ASR accepts up to 60 minutes of continuous audio input within 64K token length. This ensures consistent speaker tracking and semantic coherence across the entire hour.

• 👤 Customized Hotwords: Users can provide customized hotwords (e.g., specific names, technical terms, or background info) to guide the recognition process, significantly improving accuracy on domain-specific content.

• 📝 Rich Transcription (Who, When, What): The model jointly performs ASR, diarization, and timestamping, producing a structured output that indicates who said what and when.

• 🌍 Multilingual & Code-Switching Support: It supports over 50 languages, requires no explicit language setting, and natively handles code-switching within and across utterances. Language distribution can be found here.
