What is Deepgram?
Deepgram is widening language coverage while quietly replacing its diarization core.
Deepgram shipped a new batch speaker diarization architecture as an opt-in diarize_model parameter, then made it the default in the May self-hosted release. Alongside it, profanity filtering rolled out to 50+ monolingual languages and then to all multilingual models, numerals support reached Russian, Romanian, and Hebrew, and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite replaced its preview version in the Voice Agent API.
What is Krisp?
Krisp 2.83.4 brings Voice Translation into conference calls and lightens Accent Conversion.
Krisp is a Call Center AI platform for BPOs and enterprise contact centers, bundling Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake risk detection, fraud detection and conditional recording. Call Center AI became free to try in September. Release 2.83.4 on October 26 adds a Conference mode beta for Voice Translation and makes Accent Conversion sound more natural at lower CPU cost, though the source note is truncated.

Deepgram
0.0COMMS
Deepgram is widening language coverage while quietly replacing its diarization core.
◆ Current state
Deepgram shipped a new batch speaker diarization architecture as an opt-in diarize_model parameter, then made it the default in the May self-hosted release. Alongside it, profanity filtering rolled out to 50+ monolingual languages and then to all multilingual models, numerals support reached Russian, Romanian, and Hebrew, and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite replaced its preview version in the Voice Agent API.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks run at once. The model track is a genuine architecture replacement in diarization, moved from opt-in to default inside a week and a half, which is a fast promotion for a core speech component. The coverage track is unglamorous breadth — languages, filters, numerals — that determines whether the platform can be adopted outside English-first markets. The Voice Agent work is managed-model plumbing rather than a direction of its own.
◆ Prediction
Diarization v2 should reach streaming after landing in batch and self-hosted, since that is where the earlier architecture is weakest for live agents. Expect the language-coverage releases to continue at the same steady cadence.
Krisp
5.0COMMS
Krisp 2.83.4 brings Voice Translation into conference calls and lightens Accent Conversion.
◆ Current state
Krisp is a Call Center AI platform for BPOs and enterprise contact centers, bundling Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake risk detection, fraud detection and conditional recording. Call Center AI became free to try in September. Release 2.83.4 on October 26 adds a Conference mode beta for Voice Translation and makes Accent Conversion sound more natural at lower CPU cost, though the source note is truncated.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks are running side by side: security features (deepfake risk, in-call fraud detection) and the core voice tools getting wider coverage and lower cost to run. Conference mode takes Voice Translation beyond one-to-one agent calls into multi-party calls. Krisp is widening where its voice layer can run, not only what it detects.
◆ Prediction
Expect Conference mode and Fraud Detection to leave beta in an upcoming desktop release. The truncated note leaves the rest of 2.83.4 unclear.
