IBM updates Granite Speech with models for translation, speed and speaker tracking IBM's speech strategy lead George Saon and a team of IBM researchers updated Granite Speech on October 21 with three models: a new 2B multilingual transcription and translation model plus revisions to two existing models for high-throughput speech recognition and speaker- and timing-tracking transcripts. IBM reported the speed and accuracy figures, which the company says give buyers a starting point but still require testing on their own audio. IBM updates Granite Speech with models for translation, speed and speaker tracking George Saon and IBM's speech team added a 2B multilingual model and revised two others, with performance figures largely reported by IBM.
