Cue is ElevenLabs’ new forced alignment model. 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.

Could you build this?
No Cue is a forced alignment model that places every character on an audio timeline, and building a competitive version requires training a novel speech model with large amounts of labeled audio.
What it would actually take: The core is a speech alignment model trained on large, carefully labeled speech corpora, likely using acoustic and language model research. Matching its accuracy (sub-200 ms error on long recordings) requires ML researchers, GPU training infrastructure, and proprietary or licensed training data.
