API: Text Normalization

We’ve added a new option to the API to normalize the text. If enabled, it will transform numbers, dates, etc. into words. For example, “55” is normalized into “fifty five”. This can increase latency due to additional processing required for text normalization.

API: Loudness Normalization Update

Previously, the loudness normalization was enabled by default. Now it’s disabled by default as we believe, together with our internal model improvements, it will improve the overall quality of the audio.

SDK: Python

We’ve released a new Python SDK. Checkout the repository for more information.
