Overview
Murf Finch converts speech to text from a live stream, a recorded file, or a batch of files in Amazon S3. Stream audio with InvokeEndpointWithBidirectionalStream and receive partial transcripts while the speaker talks and a final transcript at the end of each turn; or send a file with InvokeEndpoint and get the full transcript. Finch detects the spoken language automatically and can be biased toward key terms such as product, place and people names.
Who it is for: teams building voice agents and IVR, contact-center analytics and quality assurance, meeting and media transcription, and captioning, particularly where audio must stay inside their AWS account.
Versions: Finch Global transcribes English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. Finch Indic transcribes Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia and Assamese, plus Indian English, with punctuation and word-level timestamps.
Accuracy: on the FLEURS test sets, Finch Global averages 4.9% word error rate across its seven languages (English 5.2%) and Finch Indic scores 10.3% on Hindi.
Latency and throughput, measured on Amazon SageMaker with live 16 kHz streams (November 2026): one ml.g5.2xlarge serves 96 concurrent streams and one ml.g6.xlarge serves 64, with 90% of final transcripts delivered within 250 ms of the end of speech. On ml.g6e.xlarge that figure is under 100 ms at 96 streams.
Model and training data: Finch is a neural speech recognition model built with PyTorch, trained on tens of thousands of hours of licensed and public multilingual speech.
Known limitations: Finch Global returns lowercase text without punctuation and does not yet return word timestamps. Speaker diarization is not included. Each version transcribes only its own languages. Accuracy is lower on noisy, overlapping or far-field speech; test with your own audio. Real-time requests are limited to 25 MB; use batch transform for files up to one hour.
Privacy: the model package runs with SageMaker network isolation, so no audio or text is sent to Murf or any third party. Real-time and streaming usage is billed per minute of audio; batch transform is billed per instance-hour.
Highlights
- Final transcripts within 250 ms of the end of speech (p90) at 96 concurrent live streams on one ml.g5.2xlarge, and under 100 ms on ml.g6e.xlarge.
- 4.9% average word error rate on FLEURS across English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch; 10.3% on Hindi, with 11 Indian languages plus Indian English in Finch Indic.
- Runs in your AWS account with network isolation. Live streaming, real-time files up to 25 MB and batch transform, with automatic language detection and key-term boosting, billed per audio minute.

Amazon SageMaker model
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.
Version release notes
Streaming session messages no longer include internal session settings. Adds ml.g6e.xlarge; ml.g5.2xlarge is now recommended (96 concurrent live streams). Updated guide: 25 MB real-time limit, getting started, Python streaming client.
Additional details
Inputs
- Summary

- Limitations for input type
- 25 MB per real-time request. One audio file per batch transform input object, up to one hour long.
- Input MIME type
- audio/wav, application/octet-stream
