I've loved using pgdog for the last 6 months. It's been incredibly stable. It's nifty how they've solved the LISTEN/NOTIFY on a transaction pooler problem.

They are all transcribed by multiple blinded "accent natives". But yes, your point is valid - going to see if I can tease out the "single person accuracy".

Ran it over our internal dataset of ~250 recordings of people saying british postcodes (all kinds of accents, etc) - it's competitive for sure!

Soniox (stt-async-v4): 176/248 (71.0%) ElevenLabs (scribe_v2): 170/248 (68.5%) AssemblyAI (universal-3-pro): 166/248 (66.9%) Deepgram (nova-3): 158/248 (63.7%) AssemblyAI (universal-2): 148/248 (59.7%) Cohere (transcribe-03-2026): 148/248 (59.7%) Speechmatics (enhanced): 134/248 (54.0%)

P.s. how do I get this to render correctly on here?

Incroyable! Competitive (if not better) than deepgram nova-3, and much better than assembly and elevenlabs in basically all cases on our internal streaming benchmarking.

The dataset is ~100 8kHz call recordings with gnarly UK accents (which I consider to be the final boss of english language ASR). It seems like it's SOTA.

Where it does fall down seems to be the latency distribution but I'm testing against the API. Running it locally will no doubt improve that?

Interested why you use the coldest colour for waking up? I do the same, but use a sunrise simulation instead that goes from warm to cold.
