GPU-accelerated multilingual speech-to-text supporting 40 language locales with real-time streaming and batch transcription, deployed entirely within your AWS VPC.
Nemotron 3.5 ASR - Enterprise Multilingual Speech-to-Text
Nemotron 3.5 ASR is a production-ready, GPU-accelerated speech-to-text appliance powered by NVIDIA, designed to help organizations add accurate voice transcription to contact centers, AI assistants, meeting platforms, media workflows, and more. Because it runs entirely within your AWS VPC as an AMI, all audio data stays on your infrastructure - no data leaves the instance, providing a strong data-sovereignty posture for privacy-sensitive workloads.
Key Capabilities
Real-time streaming and batch transcription from a single deployment
40 language-locales with optional automatic language detection
Built-in punctuation and capitalization for clean, readable transcripts
Fine-tuning support to improve recognition for specialized vocabularies and industry terminology
Configurable performance settings to balance latency and accuracy per workload
Deployment Details
Supported AWS instance types: GPU-accelerated instances (e.g., g4dn.xlarge, g4dn.2xlarge, g4dn.4xlarge, g4dn.8xlarge) with sufficient GPU memory for model inference
Operating system: Ubuntu-based AMI 26.04 with NVIDIA GPU drivers pre-installed
Networking: Configure security groups to allow API traffic on the designated service port, port 8000
Launch steps: Start the AMI on a supported GPU instance, allow 5 minutes for the service to fully launch, and begin sending audio via the streaming or batch API
Data Handling and Security
All audio processing occurs locally on the EC2 instance within your VPC
No audio data or transcription results are transmitted to external servers
Supports encryption at rest via AWS EBS encryption
No telemetry or usage data is sent outside your environment
Highlights
Single Multilingual Model: Transcribe speech across 40 language-locales using one multilingual model, with optional automatic language detection.
Punctuation and Capitalization: Automatically produces transcripts with proper punctuation and capitalization for polished, readable output.
Cost Efficient and Performant: Optimized to maximize GPU performance, allowing more concurrent transcription sessions per instance and helping organizations reduce the cost of large-scale speech recognition deployments.

You pay an hourly software fee for this speech-to-text model, which runs on a GPU instance in your own AWS account. Pricing is billed by the hour, not by usage volume or tokens. The four dimensions map to four GPU instance sizes: g4dn.xlarge, g4dn.2xlarge, g4dn.4xlarge, and g4dn.8xlarge. Each step reflects more compute capacity on the underlying instance. You choose the instance size that fits your workload. The model stays in your account, and the hourly fee covers unlimited use of that single instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do the four g4dn instance sizes mean for my bill?
Each dimension matches one GPU instance size, from g4dn.xlarge up to g4dn.8xlarge. Larger sizes carry more compute and a higher hourly fee. You pick one size and pay its hourly software fee. The sizes do not stack or combine on a single bill.
Am I charged when the GPU instance is stopped or idle?
The hourly software fee meters running time on the instance you launch. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software fee. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage charges for the attached volume, which are separate from this listing's fee.
Is this billed by usage volume or by the hour?
You pay an hourly software fee for the running instance, not per audio minute, token, or request. Transcription volume on that instance is unlimited while it runs. This favors steady workloads where the instance stays active. Continuous use spreads the hourly fee across more work.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Production-ready release.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Once deployed, ensure port 8000 is allowed in the EC2 instance's security group. Then, replace the public DNS endpoint and sample audio file in the following curl command and run it to test the service:
The exposed API endpoint adheres to the OpenAI spec and can be used as such.
