Mistral AI's Voxtral Transcribe 2 separates live speech recognition from processing completed recordings. Voxtral Realtime transcribes incoming audio with a configurable delay; Mini Transcribe V2 provides batch transcription with speaker labels and word timestamps. The February 2026 release distinguishes their roles.
Realtime's delay setting trades responsiveness against transcription accuracy. Mistral reports that at a 2.4-second delay it matches its batch model on the cited , while shorter delays suit more immediate interaction. For recorded conversations, Mini's speaker labels help attribute speech, although overlapping voices are typically reduced to one speaker's transcription. The choice depends on whether the application needs immediate text or a structured record of a recording.
- eval — A repeatable test for AI quality — a set of tasks plus scoring — used the way software teams use test suites, because model output is too variable to judge by eyeballing.
- context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
- chunking — Splitting documents into passages small enough to embed and retrieve individually — the step that quietly determines whether retrieval works at all.
