It combines accurate transcription, natural speech synthesis with emotional adaptability, and deep tool integration for seamless workflow automation. Available via Mistral’s EU-hosted API or self-deployment, it ensures data sovereignty while delivering low-latency, human-like interactions for contact centers, virtual assistants, and hands-free copilots.\n\nSpeech transcription and voice generation have come a long way, but building end-to-end voice agents that can listen, reason, interact, and handle complex workflows remains difficult.\n\nA reliable voice agent needs to do four things very well (and simultaneously):\n\nListen accurately across languages, accents, speakers, and interruptions,\n\nReasondeeply about what users mean in specific contexts,\n\nSpeak naturally with emotion and expression, and\n\nTake action over multiple steps through connected systems.\n\nGetting all four to work together reliably in real time remains a challenge.\n\nTo address this, we introduce Voxtral 3: a new family of state-of-the-art speech-to-text and text-to-speech models, alongside a voice agent SDK that brings listening, thinking, tool calling, and speaking into a single real-time streaming pipeline.\n\nVoxtral 3 is built to create natural conversational experiences, from contact-center agents and service desks to virtual assistants and hands-free copilots. With support for dozens of languages, expressive speech, complex reasoning, and deep integration with your own tools and data, agents built with Voxtral can interpret nuanced intent, reason through sophisticated requests, and execute multi-step actions across connected systems.\n\nAs with other Mistral models, the Voxtral 3 family is designed for sovereign deployment. Available today through Mistral's EU-hosted API or for self-deployment on your own infrastructure, it gives organizations control over where audio is processed, how data is handled, and whether conversations are retained.\n\nHighlights\n\nAccurate transcription across 50+ languages. The speech-to-text model, Voxtral Small Transcribe 3, is state-of-the-art in multilingual transcription, identifying who said what (diarization), using keyphrases to improve its accuracy (context-biasing). It detects when someone has finished speaking so agents can respond without delay (end-of-turn detection).\n\nNatural speech that adapts to the conversation. The text-to-speech model, Voxtral Mini TTS 3, introduces new voices that adjust their emotion, pace, and emphasis based on conversational context, with support for 35+ languages and 50+ dialects.\n\nHuman-like intelligence at your (spoken) command. The new voice agent SDK combines listening, reasoning, tool calling, and speaking into a real-time experience. Agents can retrieve information, interact with business systems, and complete tasks during live conversations over phone or web.\n\nPro Voice for distinctly accurate voice adaptation. For professional use cases where basic voice cloning does not suffice, Voxtral’s Pro Voice adaptation is able to reproduce a speaker’s distinctive character, emotional range, and speaking style across languages, using just 30 minutes of audio.\n\nYour voice AI, on your infrastructure. Use Mistral's EU-hosted API or deploy Voxtral 3 on your own infrastructure. Keep sensitive conversations within your environment and control whether any audio is retained.\n\nIt hears 50+ languages, with state-of-the-art accuracy.\n\nVoxtral Transcribe 3 represents a significant milestone across transcription, diarization (who spoke when) and context biasing capabilities. The supported list of languages is expanded to 50, including 24 official EU languages and many low-resource Asian and Indic languages.\n\nThe Small version achieves state-of-the-art results across diarization and multilingual transcription, including in English, French and Spanish. It outperforms Whisper, Scribe v2 and Gemini 3.5 Transcribe. The Mini variant is 4B parameters, enabling fast and accurate transcriptions at a price of $0.0035/min.\n\nBoth models support context biasing, where key terms and free-form text can be given to bias the transcription and improve recall on technical terms. This enables them to be used in production settings with domain-specific vocabulary without the need for fine-tuning.\n\nVoxtral Realtime Transcribe 3 is a realtime transcription model built for agentic use-cases. It achieves high-quality transcriptions at sub-500ms latency in over 35 languages, including with diarization and context biasing.\n\nEnd-of-turn prediction is natively supported, incorporating both acoustic and semantic information to accurately predict when a user is finished speaking. This allows for low-latency voice agent applications, while minimizing false cut-off rates when the user is prematurely interrupted.\n\nIt answers with the right emotion, in your or your customer’s brand's own voice and local dialect.\n\nVoxtral Mini TTS 3.0, available in batch and realtime, achieves state-of-the-art expressiveness and instruction following for 35+ languages and 50+ dialects. At $13 per 1M characters, Voxtral Speech 3 costs less to run than comparable models from OpenAI TTS-1, Deepgram, ElevenLabs Flash and Gemini Flash.\n\nThe speech model implicitly interprets the semantic meaning of context better, producing natural speech across a diverse range of emotions and languages. New and improved features include voice cloning from 30+ minutes of sampled audio, custom prompt instruction following (IF), contextual TTS, and a vocabulary library, all of which serve the goal of speech reliability in deployment. Variables for Explicit IF include emotion, pacing, and emphasis.\n\nPrompt\n\nLet's end the debate here: it's GIF.\n\nLet's end the debate here. It's GIF.\n\nLet's end the debate here.

Our multilingual evals adhere to dialect differences in pronunciation, formal vs. informal register, spelling, verbosity, and locale conventions (time, dates, temperatures, addresses, currencies).\n\nVoxtral 3 multilingual library\n\nVoice Presets are available in 18 languages: Arabic (Emirati, Modern Standard), Brazilian (Portuguese), Catalan, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, English (American, British), French (France), German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish (Spain), and Vietnamese.\n\nThe voice agent is in control of the whole conversation.\n\nVoxtral 3 introduces a voice agent SDK, built on LiveKit, that runs speech in, reasoning, and speech out as one streaming pipeline. Voxtral Mini Transcribe Realtime 3 listens and detects when the caller has finished speaking, a general model—like Mistral Small—reasons and calls tools, and Voxtral Speech 3 replies in the tone of the conversation so far. No stage waits for the one before it, so each turn completes in under one second, and the agent stops talking when the caller cuts in.\n\nDuring a call, the agent can verify a caller's identity, check a bill, or book an appointment, using function calling, web search, and retrieval over your own systems. It answers and places calls over SIP, runs in browsers and apps over WebRTC, and connects to the telephony, IVR, and contact-center software you already use.\n\nEach stage is a separate model, so you can change the LLM, the voice, or the language without rewriting the agent, and run the whole stack on Mistral's API in Europe or on your own infrastructure.\n\nGet started.\n\nVoxtral 3 is available today through the Mistral API, hosted through our European, US, and global endpoints.\n\nYou can test out voice agents, audio transcription, speech generation, and voice cloning in the Studio playgrounds.\n\nModel\n\nPrice\n\nVoxtral Mini Transcribe 3 (batch)\n\n$0.0035/min\n\nVoxtral Mini Transcribe Realtime 3\n\n$0.008/min\n\nVoxtral Small Transcribe 3\n\n$0.0040/min\n\nVoxtral Speech 3 (batch and realtime, same API)\n\n$13/1M chars\n\nTo run the full stack on-premises or in a private cloud, talk to our team.\n\nVoxtral Small Transcribe 3\n\nNew\n\nHighest accuracy speech transcription model.
