ElevenLabs launches Scribe v3 with a separate live transcription model
ElevenLabs' November 10 release separates recorded and real-time transcription, adding controls for speaker attribution and terminology. Availability is documented; practical accuracy still needs workload-specific testing.
Event date: Nov 10, 2026
Recorded and live are different jobs
ElevenLabs introduced Scribe v3 and v3 Live on November 10. The former targets recorded audio; the latter adds real-time speaker labels and conversational turn detection. [1]
The company also describes terminology and formatting controls. Its accuracy improvements are provider-reported, not results independently tested by SpicyRanks. [1]
Read the measurement and billing conditions
ElevenLabs' methodology distinguishes word errors, semantic errors and speaker-label errors. It warns that its live and batch diarization scores are not directly comparable. [1]
Spicy's takeTreat that distinction as a testing requirement: check words, speaker attribution and turn-taking separately on representative recordings. [1]
Spicy's takeThe pricing page says products draw from one monthly credit pool and gives approximate speech-to-text usage of 330 credits per minute. It does not identify a universal v3/v3 Live API rate; confirm the applicable product and plan before estimating costs. [2]
