It handles job submission, status polling, and result retrieval with built-in support for speaker diarization, multi-language translation, and summarization. The client manages authentication via environment variables or explicit API keys, including optional JWT token refresh for long-running applications.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who need to transcribe audio files asynchronously without blocking. It provides a high-level interface (simple transcribe method) for quick jobs and a lower-level API for manual job management, custom polling intervals, and fine-grained configuration. Output is available in JSON, plain text, or SRT subtitle formats.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses permissive MIT licensing, and offers low install friction. It is well-suited for developers who need async batch transcription with Speechmatics. The only caveat is that it is still in Beta (Development Status 4), so API or behavior changes are possible in future releases."},"id":"speechmatics-batch","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/speechmatics-batch","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/speechmatics-batch.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/speechmatics-batch/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-16","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"speechmatics-batch","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Speechmatics Batch API Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75363,"position":14723,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.0"}
