Migration status
As of July 2024, no projects have been automatically migrated. The automatic migration will remain on hold until further notice (no ETA).
You can continue to use the classic Speech-to-Text models but are encouraged to opt in to use conformer-based speech models.
Migration overview
For certain language tag and speech
setting combinations, the Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) and Dialogflow ES traffic with audio will
gradually route away from the classic Speech-to-Text models behind the
command_and_search, default, phone_call, and video model identifiers to
the new conformer-based speech
models. As the redirection will be
internal only, the current model identifiers and code will remain valid and
continue to serve traffic.
The tables in the Migration for en and en-uslanguage tags and
Migration for de, en-au, en-gb, en-in, es, es-es, es-us, fr,
fr-ca, fr-fr, it, ja, nl, pt-br language
tags sections show the routing of Speech-to-Text
models that will take place when the migration takes effect. If your
configuration matches the language tag and the first two columns in the table,
the new model identifier is listed in the third column. No change is expected
for other configurations.
See the Migration options section to choose the best option for you.

Migration options
There are three migration options: early opt-in, automatic, and temporary opt-out.
Opt in and migrate earlier
To opt in proactively, change the speech model identifier that you have been using in the Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) API and Dialogflow ES API with the updated one. For Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX), you can also change the model identifier in the Advanced speech settings under Speech and IVR settings in the Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) console.
Migrating your project proactively gives you time to test the models and take
advantage of the improved accuracy and robustness earlier. This approach is
highly recommended, especially if you are using a model that will route to the
new telephony and telephony_short models.
If you experience issues with the new models, open a Google Cloud support case with issue details.
Migrate automatically
To be migrated automatically, no action is required on your part. The existing Speech-to-Text model identifiers are valid and we will shift traffic internally.
Opt out and migrate later
Due to the suspended migration status, new opt-out requests are not accepted. If your projects were opted out before July 2024, they will remain in this state until further announcement.
