Our take
Written Aug 2, 2026Resonant 1 is a proprietary speech-to-text model from Reson8 that turns recorded audio into written words. It achieves near-perfect accuracy on clean read-aloud English, but its error rate rises sharply on meetings, accented speech and podcasts. Currently no hosts are tracked for it.
Pick this for high-quality transcription of clean read-aloud English, where it gets roughly one word wrong per hundred. Consider it for financial call transcription if a 2.77% error rate meets your needs. Skip it if you are transcribing meetings, podcasts, video or accented speech, where the error rate climbs nearly tenfold, or if you need a model you can access today through a hosted provider.
The case for it
- Near-perfect accuracy on clean read-aloud English: roughly one word wrong per 109 words.
- Respectable on structured financial audio, at 2.77% versus 8.22% on general meetings.
- Moderate language coverage with nine languages supported.
The case against it
- Dramatically worse on real-world audio than clean recordings: 9.5 times the error rate on accented speech, and nearly nine times on meetings.
- Weak on podcasts and video, with roughly one word in 14 wrong.
- No commercial access path currently tracked: zero offers in the catalogue.

Stated by the leaderboard; we do not hold the list itself.
Percentage of words wrong on each set, lower better. Bars are scaled to this model's own worst case, not to the board.
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 Resonant 1.
There is no copy to download and no host in our price data, so Reson8 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 Reson8 sells.
