Murf's Speech to Text is in beta, with real-time transcription over WebSocket. It's available only in the India region and supports [12 languages](<https://murf.ai/api/docs/changelog/2026/10/22>), including English (India), Hindi and Tamil, plus automatic language detection.

You get partial transcripts while someone speaks and a final transcript with word-level timestamps when you end the turn. Silence doesn't end a turn: your client must send Finalize or CloseStream. Finalize keeps the connection open for the next turn. Automatic end-of-turn detection and background voice removal are coming soon and currently have no effect.

It accepts 8 kHz µ-law or A-law telephony audio, plus PCM and Opus up to 48 kHz. Speaker diarization isn't available.

Pricing is $0.24 per hour, billed per second. The free tier allows 5 concurrent requests; pay as you go defaults to 20, with up to 150 on request. Each open connection occupies a slot until it closes.
