March 2026 monthly summary for AssemblyAI/assemblyai-api-spec: Delivered two primary features and enhanced developer experience through targeted documentation work and bug fixes. Key features delivered include: (1) Universal-3 Pro Streaming Model Adoption across API usage with built-in formatting, end-of-turn detection, and language detection; migration guides and docs updated to reflect the new model and its benefits for accuracy and usability. (2) Semantic WER: introduced a Semantic WER section to provide a nuanced evaluation of transcription errors that affect user intent and improve voice-agent assessment. Major documentation and quality improvements included extensive migration-guide updates across providers (Deepgram, Gladia, Speechmatics, AWS, Google, OpenAI) and code-block corrections; SDK parameter rename from speech_model to speech_models; removal of language_code when language_detection is enabled. Commit references related to these work include 54e8a4d447ad24394a588b0edf1c878b6408635b, 01b55e590caea21960d601b056eb043e5edfa142, 5bad058ca747595ad32a23ac073751c685fffdf4, and 459d1efc76f16ba1f8eb782166dab3ce5f69259d.
