Standard

speechmatics/standard

Standard is Speechmatics' default batch model, feature-identical to Enhanced but tuned for throughput and turnaround rather than peak accuracy. Speechmatics recommends it for archival transcription, content indexing and large-scale captioning across 55+ languages.

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.
