Our take
Written Aug 2, 2026Resonant 1 Flash is Reson8's proprietary speech-to-text model that handles nine languages, though accuracy has only been measured for English. It excels on clean read-aloud audio but degrades sharply in meetings, podcasts and accented speech, and no providers currently offer it.
This is not a practical choice right now — no hosts currently carry it. If it becomes available, it would suit clean read-aloud transcription where near-perfect accuracy matters and the audio quality is controlled. Skip it if you need to transcribe meetings, podcasts, video or accented speech, or if you require any language other than English.
The case for it
- Excellent on clean read-aloud English: roughly one word wrong per 106.
- European-accented English at 2.19% error rate, far better than its 8.96% on general accented speech.
The case against it
- Dramatically worse in real-world conditions: recorded meetings are more than eight times harder than clean speech.
- No current offers in the catalogue, so it is unavailable to use.
- All held accuracy figures are English only; the other eight claimed languages are unverified.

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 Flash.
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.
