Speech-to-text and voice intelligence APIs for developers
Choose pre-recorded transcription for files, a realtime API for live streams and voice agents, or a synchronous endpoint for short clips and dictation.
Layer summarization, sentiment, topic detection, PII redaction, content moderation and guardrails onto transcripts without building your own models.
AssemblyAI-TTS-1 is trained on real phone calls for natural, low-latency speech, targeted at IVR and voice-agent use cases.
Flagship models emphasise exact transcription, speaker labels and native code-switching across many languages, supported by published benchmarks.
Enterprise developer platform and API for deploying GPT-6 Astra, Sol, Luna, and realtime multimodal agents.
Spanning GPT-6 Astra ($10/$50 per MTok), GPT-6.1 Sol ($2/$10), GPT-6.1 Terra ($1/$5), and GPT-6 Luna ($0.10/$0.50), all with a 1,050,000-token context window and 128K max output.
Tune thinking token budgets per API request across six granularity levels (`none`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`) to balance latency, accuracy, and cost.
Combine model inference with hosted web search, file search, function calling, and autonomous GUI computer-use actions in a single stateful API call.
Build ultra-low-latency multimodal voice agents billed per second ($0.05/minute) without rounding up to whole minutes.
Provides direct API access to Google's Gemini models with generous free prototyping tiers, but lacks OpenAI's ecosystem breadth.
