Audio may be used for training unless the account opts out, and the opt-out isn't retroactive.\n\n**Mistral Voxtral Transcribe.** Batch transcription costs $0.003 a minute and takes one multipart call with a file, a URL or an uploaded file ID. Rate limit numbers are shown only in the console, and timestamps cannot be combined with a set language, nor diarisation with the realtime model.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ElevenLabs Scribe Speech to Text API\n\n1. Create a key restricted to speech-to-text with a credit quota and an expiry\n2. Use `source_url` for hosted files instead of downloading and re-uploading\n3. Set `webhook=true` for long files so the call doesn't block\n4. Back off exponentially on any of the three 429 codes\n5. Opt out under Data use before sending customer audio. It only covers later uploads\n\n### Mistral Voxtral Transcribe\n\n1. Send `model=voxtral-mini-latest` and one of `file`, `file_url` or `file_id` as multipart form fields to `/v1/audio/transcriptions`\n2. Leave `language` out when you ask for `timestamp_granularities`, the docs say the two are not compatible\n3. Use the batch endpoint for diarisation. `voxtral-mini-transcribe-realtime-2602` does not accept `diarize`\n4. Pin `voxtral-mini-2602` if output must not change, since `-latest` aliases can move\n5. Mint browser tokens with `POST /v1/client/sessions` close to connection time and pass them in `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol`, never the API key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ElevenLabs Scribe Speech to Text API or Mistral Voxtral Transcribe?\n\nElevenLabs Scribe Speech to Text API scores 68.9 (B) on agent readiness against Mistral Voxtral Transcribe's 64.1 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
