    @testingcatalogMICROSOFT 🔥: MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming, MAI-Voice-2.1 and MAI-Voice-2.1-Flash models are coming to MAI Playground and APIs! > "MAI-Transcribe and MAI-Voice models: accurate, fast, low cost, and chart-topping audio understanding and generation for building the best conversational voice agents." MAI Playground has a new "Chatter" demo voice experience as well. Testing time 👀
    @DinoLeadingNews@itmedia_news Nice, a streaming transcription model from Microsoft. Curious how it handles real-time audio.
    @citethenMicrosoft AI (Oct 1): MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming (first streaming STT in the MAI line) plus MAI-Voice-2.1 and MAI-Voice-2.1-Flash—components for listen→speak voice agents. Streaming model returns partial transcripts over WebSocket before finals; Voice models cover 23 languages per Microsoft Learn (Flash = low-latency tier). Soft: Learn marks Voice as public preview; “No. 1” Artificial Analysis / Turing claims are company/coverage-reported. Listed prices in wires: ~$0.54/audio-hr streaming; $22 / $15 per 1M chars for Voice / Flash. Why it matters: Microsoft is packaging in-house STT+TTS for real-time agents, not just chat APIs. Not financial advice. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/mai-voices
