Product changelog and announcements

In this version of Flex UI we have updated the Status Report, formerly known as the Debugger UI, to now include a summary of Flex UI's operation status for each user. The Status Report is now available in GA and includes debugger logs, Twilio service status information and whether Flex UI is running in degraded mode.

Find out more about the updated Status Report on the Troubleshooting Flex UI page.

We have added two new speech recognition models to <Gather>: experimental_conversations and experimental_utterances. Experimental models are designed to give access to the latest speech technology and machine learning research, and can provide higher accuracy for speech recognition over other models, but do not support all languages and lack some features like confidence scores.

The Deepgram Transcription Add-Ons are now available in Twilio’s Marketplace catalog. With them, developers can unlock the value of post-call recordings leveraging Deepgram’s AI speech recognition models’ accuracy and performance. There are two Add-Ons offering transcriptions with Basic and Enhanced models respectively. To learn more about these Add-Ons and how to enable it for your application, visit the Marketplace Deepgram Base Transcription and Deepgram Enhanced Transcription Add-Ons in the Twilio Console.

Effective October 1, 2022, usage for Conference, Voice Insights Advanced Features, and BYOC connectivity minutes will round up to the next minute. Your usage has been underbilled due to an error in our systems that calculate Conference, Voice Insights Advanced Features, and BYOC connectivity usage. We’ll absorb the historical cost of our error and you’ll see updated billing on your invoice starting October 1, 2022.

Most Twilio Voice products are usage-based and round up to the minute by default. There are no partial minutes; for example, a call that is 1 minute and 18 seconds is charged for 2 minutes. However, your contract may stipulate sub-minute billing for some billable items.

Flex projects include Conference and Voice Insights Advanced Features as part of the Fair Usage Policy and should not expect to see price increases for in-quota usage.

We recently discovered a bug in our calculation of Post Dial Delay (PDD) for PSTN/SIP calls with more than one routing attempt.This resulted in an incorrect calculation of PDD and for these calls we were reporting a PDD value which was higher than the actual value.Starting 23 September 2022 all calculations of PDD in VoiceInsights (Console and API) will reflect the correct and updated value.
