Deepgram Receives 2025 Voice AI Technology Excellence Award from CUSTOMER Magazine
Deepgram's Nova-3 Honored for Combining Unmatched Accuracy, Real-Time Multilingual Transcription, and Instant Self-Serve Customization
Share
The Voice AI Technology Excellence Awards honor innovative solutions that harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to elevate voice-driven experiences, improve customer engagement, and deliver meaningful business results.
Deepgram Nova-3 was recognized for setting a new standard for transcription accuracy, customization, and real-time multilingual capabilities. In particular, TMC highlighted breakthrough performance in noisy, real-world conditions (i.e., call centers, drive-thrus, and emergency response). This is thanks to innovations in acoustic modeling, audio-text alignment, and domain-specific vocabulary handling. As the first model to offer real-time transcription across multiple languages and self-serve customization via keyterm prompting (without retraining), Nova-3 makes enterprise-grade speech recognition more flexible and accessible than ever.
Nova-3 also boasts an industry-leading batch word error rate (WER) of 5.26%, extending its lead over the next-best competitor by 47.4% (10% WER). This reduced error rate translates to more accurate transcriptions for industries that require high precision, such as healthcare, legal, and finance. In streaming WER, Nova-3 leads with a WER of 6.84%, extending its advantage over the next-best competitor by 54.2% (14.92% WER). This improved accuracy ensures real-time, reliable transcription for applications like call centers and virtual assistants, thereby enhancing the overall customer experience.
Whether handling complex accents, mixed-language conversations, or sensitive data redaction, Nova-3 enables smarter, faster, and more accurate voice-powered applications across industries.
'It gives me great pleasure to recognize Deepgram as a 2025 Voice AI Technology Excellence Award recipient,' said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC. 'Our judges were thoroughly impressed not only by the strength and features of the product, but by Deepgram's commitment to delivering world-class customer experiences.'
'We're honored to receive a 2025 CUSTOMER magazine Voice AI Technology Excellence Award. It's a powerful validation of the work our team has done to push the boundaries of what voice AI can deliver,' said Scott Stephenson, CEO and Co-Founder, Deepgram. 'The market is facing enormous pressure to deliver faster, more accurate, and more adaptive voice solutions in environments that are noisier, more complex, and more multilingual than ever before. Nova-3 rises to that challenge by combining unmatched accuracy, real-time multilingual transcription, and instant self-serve customization, which are capabilities no other provider can deliver together at scale.'

LINEAGE INVESTOR ALERT: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Lineage, Inc. and Announces Opportunity for Investors with Substantial Losses to Lead the Lineage Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock in or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with Lineage's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'), have until September 30, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. Captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v. Lineage, Inc., No. 25-cv-12383 (E.D. Mich.), the Lineage class action lawsuit charges Lineage and certain of its top executives, directors, IPO underwriters, and IPO sponsor with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: CASE ALLEGATIONS: Lineage is a Maryland REIT focused on temperature-controlled cold-storage facilities. In the July 2024 IPO, Lineage sold over 65 million shares of Lineage common stock to investors at $78 per share, raising more than $5 billion in gross offering proceeds. The Lineage class action lawsuit alleges that the registration statement was false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, Lineage's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lineage's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (ii) Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing Lineage; (iii) Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed above through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (iv) as a result, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the registration statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (v) consequently, Lineage's financial results, business operations, and prospects were materially impaired. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen to lows near $40 per share. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of the filing of the complaint. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Lineage common stock in or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with Lineage's IPO to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lineage class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Lineage class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Lineage class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. ABOUT ROBBINS GELLER: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP is one of the world's leading law firms representing investors in securities fraud and shareholder litigation. Our Firm has been ranked #1 in the ISS Securities Class Action Services rankings for four out of the last five years for securing the most monetary relief for investors.
