Turbo only, up to 8 speakers. File labels are documented; dedicated live guide adds preview labels, superseding the older file-page statement that live returns text only.
Speech timestamps and alignment
File timestamps=word provides words/segments and optional SRT/VTT. File labels imply timestamps and cannot combine with HTTP stream=true. Dedicated live preview emits committed speaker-labelled segments.Source for Speech timestamps and alignment (opens in a new tab)
Request quotas
10 file transcriptions and 3 live sessions concurrently per account. Live one-use ticket expires after 60 seconds. Retry 429 using Retry-After and original request ID.Source for Request quotas (opens in a new tab)
Data retention
Completed request results recoverable for 24 hours; pending settlements remain recoverable. This is recovery retention, not universal data deletion.Source for Data retention (opens in a new tab)
Provider model labels, backend selections and voice IDs do not establish an immutable request-side checkpoint selector.
Access
POST https://api.addisassistant.com/api/v1/scribe/transcribe; x-api-key; multipart audio, backend=turbo|standard, request_id; optional stream=true, timestamps=word or speakers=true subject to mode constraints.

Native ETB list rate. Launch promotion applies through November 12, 2026 EAT; list rate applies again November 13. Final returned usage and account pricing control.
50% off for every account through the end of November 12, 2026 East Africa Time. Not a perpetual rate; no extra currency conversion. Standard/Turbo Scribe share the rate; billing uses final output characters.
Standard-service terms/privacy permit content review, model training, fine-tuning and improvement. No-training or restricted processing requires a controlling written enterprise agreement. Account content and clips may persist for feature use, safety/legal needs or agreed terms; transient realtime processing has separately retained operational logs. No universal numeric retention TTL. Processing may occur in Ethiopia, Switzerland, EEA and provider regions; private residency requires written agreement.

Access
POST https://api.addisassistant.com/api/v1/scribe/sessions with x-api-key; use returned websocket_url and one-use ticket as first session.authenticate frame. Live speaker labels are preview, Turbo only.

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.
01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain
The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.
02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state
Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.
03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate
Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say
No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.
Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.
The record behind the model
Why it is included
Commercial hosted API with restricted service access and reserved provider/licensor IP. Public research artifacts exist; this entry is not an assertion of an independently closed-weight checkpoint.
