Model design and capabilities

The architecture includes a 16-block Conformer encoder and a trained audio projector.Granite Speech 5.0 2B model card

Practical use

Practical guidance. Use keyword guidance for product names or technical terms that ordinary transcription misses. Check whether the hints cause false substitutions in unrelated speech. Score transcription and translation separately; a correct transcript does not prove that the translated meaning is complete.
