Quick take
Meta's streaming speech-recognition model for live captions, long audio, many speakers, code-switching, and domain-aware transcription.
The Model API is in public preview, and the public demo's privacy statement is not a complete API data policy. Confirm endpoint regions, retention, training use, and the exact supported language list before launch.
ElevenLabs' multilingual speech-to-text model for detailed transcripts with many speakers, word timing, audio events, and large custom keyterm lists.
Do not assume batch and realtime are the same route or price. Zero-data-retention is conditional rather than automatic, so verify the plan, endpoint, region, and enable_logging behavior before processing sensitive audio.

How to choose
Start with the job you need to complete, then validate cost, access, and policy details on your exact provider route.
Meta's launch page describes privacy for its public demo, not a complete Model API retention or training-use commitment. Review current Model API terms and enterprise controls before sending sensitive audio.
Provider and API links
ElevenLabs lets eligible API customers manage data-use preferences. Zero-data-retention through enable_logging=false is limited to qualifying enterprise configurations and supported models, including Scribe v2; verify the live plan and regional endpoint.
