Enhanced is the highest-accuracy model in Speechmatics' batch API, from the Ursa 2 generation (October 2024), covering 55+ languages. Its options include diarization, translation and a medical-domain variant, with slower turnaround than Standard.

Provider Notes

Enhanced and Standard are separate batch models; Enhanced Realtime and Standard Realtime are separate streaming products and preserve their own pricing. The current API selects model=enhanced or model=standard; the deprecated operating_point field is not sent. Melia 1 is multilingual transcription with code switching, not the Speechmatics translation feature: it is batch-only, requires language=multi, and rejects custom vocabulary, translation, entity extraction, transcript filtering, and speaker-diarization tuning.
