    "detail": "Cue positions every character of a transcript on the audio timeline without chunking, claiming ~179 ms average timing error and very fast throughput (about half a second to align an hour of audio). It ships integrated with ElevenLabs Scribe and as a standalone Forced Alignment API, differentiating itself from chunk-based aligners by reducing drift and engineering overhead. This is relevant to media, e-learning, contact centers, and any business that relies on precise timestamps for captions, search, compliance, or content repurposing.",

It places every character of a transcript on the audio timeline, handles recordings of any length in a single pass, and is built into every Scribe transcription. ElevenLabs reports 179 ms average timing error on full recordings and about half a second to align an hour of audio. It’s also available on its own through the Forced Alignment API.",
