## 🔥 Key Features
- **🕒 60-minute Single-Pass Processing**:
Unlike conventional ASR models that slice audio into short chunks (often losing global context), VibeVoice ASR accepts up to **60 minutes** of continuous audio input within 64K token length. This ensures consistent speaker tracking and semantic coherence across the entire hour.
- **👤 Customized Hotwords**:
Users can provide customized hotwords (e.g., specific names, technical terms, or background info) to guide the recognition process, significantly improving accuracy on domain-specific content.
- **📝 Rich Transcription (Who, When, What)**:
The model jointly performs ASR, diarization, and timestamping, producing a structured output that indicates *who* said *what* and *when*.
