Our take
Written Aug 2, 2026Modulate Vfast is a hosted-only speech-to-text model that turns audio into written words. It achieves very low error on clean read-aloud audio but degrades sharply in meetings, podcasts and accented speech. No hosting offers or pricing are currently listed in our data.
Pick this when your audio is clean, scripted and read aloud — it gets roughly one word in a hundred wrong under those conditions. It may also suit financial calls or European-accented speech, though error rises several-fold. Skip it if you need transcription for meetings, podcasts, video or heavily accented speech, or if you require confirmed hosting availability and pricing.
The case for it
- Excellent on clean read-aloud audio at 0.92% word error rate.
- Below-average error on financial calls and European-accented speech relative to its own headline figure.
The case against it
- Accuracy collapses in natural, unscripted audio: meeting error is more than seven times worse than clean read speech, and the 7.17 point spread between best and worst conditions makes reliability unpredictable.
- No commercial access path currently tracked; zero offers in our catalogue.
- Speed claims are unverified in our data.

The figures above come from the Open ASR Leaderboard, an independent public test that runs every model on the same recordings. It is the only measurement of transcription quality we know of, so there are no other scores to show.
These tests check whether a model follows instructions — a precondition for all the work above, but not a measure of how well that work is done, which is why they get no rating.

Where to get it
We hold no priced listing for Modulate Vfast.
There is no copy to download and no host in our price data, so Modulate is where to look. We watch OpenRouter, the provider APIs we track and the LiteLLM price set; this version appears in none of them, which is a gap in what we collect rather than a statement about what Modulate sells.
