Transform audio into text in real-time with our REST API and bidirectional (HTTP/2) streaming API. Built for applications requiring immediate speech processing with minimal delay.
Speech to Text REST (Saaras V3) - Process short audio files with immediate response. Best for quick transcriptions and testing with a maximum duration of 30 seconds.
Speech to Text Websocket (Saaras V3) - Transform audio into text in real-time with our WebSocket-based streaming API. Built for applications requiring immediate speech processing with minimal delay.
Highlights
Indic-first ASR across 23 languages - 22 Indian languages + English, with automatic language detection and code-mixed audio support.
Five output modes in one model - transcribe, translate (to English), verbatim, transliterate (Roman script), and code-mix, selectable per request.
Production-grade for real workloads - optimized for 8 kHz telephony audio, with utterance-level timestamps and intelligent proper-noun/entity preservation; accepts common audio + telephony codecs. Trained on 1M+ hours of real Indian speech.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay by the hour for the compute instance that runs the Speech To Text model. Pricing splits into two processing modes. Batch mode runs on ml.g6 instances for transcribing recorded files. Real-time mode runs on ml.g6 and ml.g6e instances for live streaming. Within each mode, you choose an instance size from xlarge up to 48xlarge. Costs scale with the size you pick, since larger instances hold more compute and handle heavier workloads. You are billed per host hour of the instance you select.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What is the difference between batch mode and real-time mode instances?
Real-time mode transcribes live audio streams as speakers talk, useful for voice agents and live captions. Batch mode processes recorded files after the fact, with speaker identification and word-level timestamps. You pick the mode that matches your workload, then choose an instance size within it.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or idle?
You pay per host hour the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Charges meter running time only, so shutting down instances between jobs stops the hourly software cost. Underlying AWS storage or resource fees may still apply separately.
Do larger instance sizes mean my transcription accuracy or language support changes?
No. The model, its 22 supported Indian languages, code-mixing, and diarization features are the same across all instance sizes. Instance size affects compute capacity and throughput, not transcription quality. You choose a size to match workload volume and speed needs, not accuracy.

An Amazon SageMaker model package is a pre-trained machine learning model ready to use without additional training. Use the model package to create a model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.
Deploy the model on Amazon SageMaker AI using the following options:
Real-time inference
Deploy the model as an API endpoint for your applications. When you send data to the endpoint, SageMaker processes it and returns results by API response. The endpoint runs continuously until you delete it. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs while the endpoint runs. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Deploy models for real-time inference .
Batch transform
Deploy the model to process batches of data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). SageMaker runs the job, processes your data, and returns results to Amazon S3. When complete, SageMaker stops the model. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs only during the batch job. Duration depends on your model, instance type, and dataset size. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Batch transform for inference with Amazon SageMaker AI .
