Introducing: Verbatim Transcription With Deepgram Filler Words

Deepgram introduces a new feature called Filler Words that transcribes filler words and disfluencies found in English audio, both pre-recorded and streaming. This feature is compatible with existing features like Smart Formatting and Diarization and initially supports the Nova general speech-to-text model. The Filler Words feature has no impact on latency or performance and consistently spells disfluencies throughout the transcript. It caters to customers who require precise, verbatim transcripts for various use cases such as sales enablement, public speaking coaching, legal transcription, and more. To use this new feature, users need to set tier=nova&model=general&filler_words=true when using the English Nova general model. Deepgram encourages feedback on their features and services through GitHub discussions or contacting their product experts for further information.
