NVIDIA Releases Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe and Granary v2 for Multilingual, Promptable Transcription

NVIDIA has open-sourced Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe and its Granary v2 data pipeline, offering developers a promptable, adaptable multilingual transcription system. Unlike standard ASR models, Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe supports natural language prompting to guide transcription behavior — such as specifying domain vocabulary or output formatting — making it significantly more flexible for production applications. Granary v2 underpins the training pipeline, enabling efficient multilingual data curation and model adaptation. Developers building voice interfaces, meeting summarization tools, or multilingual pipelines will find this particularly relevant, as it combines strong out-of-the-box performance with fine-tuning affordances. The open-source release on Hugging Face means teams can self-host, adapt, and evaluate without API cost constraints.
