Linguistic notes:

  • Code-switching, the practice of moving between two or more languages within a single conversation or sentence, is the everyday norm across Singapore and Malaysia. It is not an edge case.

  • Each language brings its own phonetic and grammatical system. General-purpose speech recognition models tend to handle them one at a time and break at the switch points.

  • The English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil multilingual pack is a single model trained on all four together, including the moments where they overlap.

  • Available on the Enhanced operating point for the lowest word error rate, and Standard for faster throughput.

  • The pack sits within Speechmatics' broader multilingual lineup. For workloads that span more than four languages, or for batch audio where the specialist tuning matters less, Melia handles code-switching across all 53+ supported languages in a single model. Both options are available today.
