+
+## Usage
+
+Cohere Transcribe is supported natively in `transformers`. This is the recommended way to use the model for 
+offline inference. For online inference, see the vLLM integration example below.
+
+```bash
+pip install transformers>=5.4.0 torch huggingface_hub soundfile librosa sentencepiece protobuf
+pip install datasets  # only needed for long-form and non-English examples
+```
+
+Testing was carried out with `torch==2.10.0` but it is expected to work with other versions.
+
+### Quick Start 🤗
+
+Transcribe any audio file in a few lines:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration
+from transformers.audio_utils import load_audio
+from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
+
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026")
+model = CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026", device_map="auto")
+
+audio_file = hf_hub_download(
+    repo_id="CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026",
+    filename="demo/voxpopuli_test_en_demo.wav",
+)
+audio = load_audio(audio_file, sampling_rate=16000)
+
+inputs = processor(audio, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt", language="en")
+inputs.to(model.device, dtype=model.dtype)
+
+outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
+text = processor.decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)
+print(text)
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Long-form transcription</b></summary>
+
+For audio longer than the feature extractor's `max_audio_clip_s`, the feature extractor automatically splits the waveform into chunks.
+The processor reassembles the per-chunk transcriptions using the returned `audio_chunk_index`.
+
+This example transcribes a 55 minute earnings call:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration
+from datasets import load_dataset
+import time
+
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026")
+model = CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026", device_map="auto")
+
+ds = load_dataset("distil-whisper/earnings22", "full", split="test", streaming=True)
+sample = next(iter(ds))
+
+audio_array = sample["audio"]["array"]
+sr = sample["audio"]["sampling_rate"]
+duration_s = len(audio_array) / sr
+print(f"Audio duration: {duration_s / 60:.1f} minutes")
+
+inputs = processor(audio=audio_array, sampling_rate=sr, return_tensors="pt", language="en")
+audio_chunk_index = inputs.get("audio_chunk_index")
+inputs.to(model.device, dtype=model.dtype)
+
+start = time.time()
+outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
+text = processor.decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True, audio_chunk_index=audio_chunk_index, language="en")[0]
+elapsed = time.time() - start
+rtfx = duration_s / elapsed
+print(f"Transcribed in {elapsed:.1f}s — RTFx: {rtfx:.1f}")
+print(f"Transcription ({len(text.split())} words):")
+print(text[:500] + "...")
+```
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Punctuation control</b></summary>
+
+Pass `punctuation=False` to obtain lower-cased output without punctuation marks.
+
+```python
+inputs_pnc = processor(audio, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt", language="en", punctuation=True)
+inputs_nopnc = processor(audio, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt", language="en", punctuation=False)
+```
+
+By default, punctuation is enabled.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Batched inference</b></summary>
+
+Multiple audio files can be processed in a single call. When the batch mixes short-form and long-form audio, the
+processor handles chunking and reassembly.
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration
+from transformers.audio_utils import load_audio
+
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026")
+model = CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026", device_map="auto")
+
+audio_short = load_audio(
+    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/dummy-audio-samples/resolve/main/bcn_weather.mp3",
+    sampling_rate=16000,
+)
+audio_long = load_audio(
+    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/dummy-audio-samples/resolve/main/obama_first_45_secs.mp3",
+    sampling_rate=16000,
+)
+
+inputs = processor([audio_short, audio_long], sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt", language="en")
+audio_chunk_index = inputs.get("audio_chunk_index")
+inputs.to(model.device, dtype=model.dtype)
+
+outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
+text = processor.decode(
+    outputs, skip_special_tokens=True, audio_chunk_index=audio_chunk_index, language="en"
+)
+print(text)
+```
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Non-English transcription</b></summary>
+
+Specify the language code to transcribe in any of the 14 supported languages. This example transcribes Japanese audio from the FLEURS dataset:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026")
+model = CohereAsrForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026", device_map="auto")
+
+ds = load_dataset("google/fleurs", "ja_jp", split="test", streaming=True)
+ds_iter = iter(ds)
+samples = [next(ds_iter) for _ in range(3)]
+
+for sample in samples:
+    audio = sample["audio"]["array"]
+    sr = sample["audio"]["sampling_rate"]
+
+    inputs = processor(audio, sampling_rate=sr, return_tensors="pt", language="ja")
+    inputs.to(model.device, dtype=model.dtype)
+
+    outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
+    text = processor.decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)
+    print(f"REF: {sample['transcription']}\nHYP: {text}\n")
+```
+</details>
+
+### Broader dependency support with `trust_remote_code=True`
+
+For a wider range of `torch` and `transformers` versions, run with `trust_remote_code=True`. 
+You should expect greater stability via the transformers native path above. 
+This option will be deprecated in the future.
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Usage with <code>trust_remote_code=True</code></b></summary>
+
+`trust_remote_code=True` inference exposes a single `model.transcribe()` method that automatically handles long-form audio chunking and exposes parameters to facilitate efficient inference. It is recommended that you let the transcribe method handle batching for you. This implementation is optimized for offline inference: for online inference, see the vLLM integration example below.
+
+#### Installation
+
+Recommended:
+
+```bash
+pip install "transformers>=4.56,<5.3,!=5.0.*,!=5.1.*" torch huggingface_hub soundfile librosa sentencepiece protobuf
+pip install datasets  # only needed for examples 2 and 3
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Installation with even broader <code>transformers</code> compatibility</b></summary>
+<br>
+
+For broader compatibility run the following install:
+```bash
+pip install "transformers>=4.52,!=5.0.*,!=5.1.*" torch huggingface_hub soundfile librosa sentencepiece protobuf
+```
+
+This will replace the efficient static-cache with a dynamic-cache fallback on some versions.
+
+Transformers 5.0 and 5.1 have a weight-loading issue and are **not compatible**.
+</details>
+
+#### Example 1: Quick Start
+
+Transcribe any audio file in a few lines. The model accepts file paths directly — no manual preprocessing required.
+
+```python
+import torch
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq
+from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
+
+model_id = "CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026"
+
+device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
+
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
+model = AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
+model.eval()
+
+audio_file = hf_hub_download(
+    repo_id="CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026",
+    filename="demo/voxpopuli_test_en_demo.wav",
+)
+
+texts = model.transcribe(processor=processor, audio_files=[audio_file], language="en")
+print(texts[0])
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Example 2: Optimized Throughput</b></summary>
+
+When audio is already in memory (streaming datasets, microphone input, etc.), pass numpy arrays directly instead of file paths. Enable `compile=True` to torch.compile the encoder for faster throughput, and `pipeline_detokenization=True` to overlap CPU detokenization with GPU inference.
+
+> **Note:** `pipeline_detokenization=True` is not supported on Windows.
+
+This example transcribes Japanese audio from the FLEURS dataset:
+
+```python
+import torch
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq
+from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
+
+
+model_id = "CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026"
+
+device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
+
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
+model = AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
+model.eval()
+
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+ds = load_dataset("google/fleurs", "ja_jp", split="test", streaming=True)
+ds_iter = iter(ds)
+samples = [next(ds_iter) for _ in range(3)]  # take 3 samples
+
+audio_arrays = [s["audio"]["array"] for s in samples]
+sample_rates = [s["audio"]["sampling_rate"] for s in samples]
+
+# compile=True incurs a one-time warmup cost on the first call; subsequent calls are faster.
+texts = model.transcribe(
+    processor=processor,
+    audio_arrays=audio_arrays,
+    sample_rates=sample_rates,
+    language="ja",
+    compile=True,
+    pipeline_detokenization=True,
+    batch_size=16,
+)
+for ref, hyp in zip([s["transcription"] for s in samples], texts):
+    print(f"REF: {ref}\nHYP: {hyp}\n")
+```
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Example 3: Long-Form Audio</b></summary>
+
+Audio longer than 35 seconds is automatically split into overlapping chunks and reassembled. The API is identical — no special flags or configuration needed. This example transcribes a 55 minute earnings call. This will be slow if you haven't run `compile=True` in the previous example:
+
+```python
+import torch
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq
+from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
+
+
+model_id = "CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026"

+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
+model = AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)

+#### Human-preference results
+ 
+We observe similarly strong performance in human evaluations, where trained annotators assess transcription quality across 
+real-world audio for accuracy, coherence and usability. 
+The consistency between automated metrics and human judgments suggests that the model’s improvements translate 
+beyond controlled benchmarks to practical transcription settings.

+but also avoided hallucination, correctly identified named entities, 
+and provided verbatim transcripts with appropriate formatting. 
+A score of 50% or higher indicates that Cohere Transcribe was preferred on average in the comparison._

+
+## Strengths and Limitations
+
+Cohere Transcribe is a performant, dedicated ASR model intended for efficient speech transcription.
+
+### Strengths
+
+Cohere Transcribe demonstrates best-in-class transcription accuracy in 14 languages. As a dedicated speech recognition model, it is also efficient, benefitting from a real-time factor up to three times faster than that of other, dedicated ASR models in the same size range. The model was trained from scratch, and from the outset, we deliberately focused on maximizing transcription accuracy while keeping production readiness top-of-mind.
+
+
+### Limitations
+
+* **Single language.** The model performs best when remaining in-distribution of a single, pre-specified language amongst the 14 in the range it supports. It does not feature explicit, automatic language detection and exhibits inconsistent performance on code-switched audio.
+
+* **Timestamps/Speaker diarization.** The model does not feature either of these.
+
+* **Silence.** Like most AED speech models, Cohere Transcribe is eager to transcribe, even non-speech sounds. The model thus benefits from prepending a noise gate or VAD (voice activity detection) model in order to prevent low-volume, floor noise from turning into hallucinations.
+
+
