Watch out for
  • Live and Recorded are different model codes — you cannot swap one for the other
  • Requires a billed key; the free tier 429s under sustained use
  • On clean studio audio the Balanced tier is genuinely more accurate — do not blanket-apply Smart
  • Small benchmark samples: re-validate on your own audio before standardising
