The reviews

Best developer experience for speech AI. Real-time transcription, speaker labels, and LeMUR for audio summarization.

Helpful?

Measurably better than Whisper for English. The streaming API and post-processing features justify the cost.

Helpful?

Audio intelligence — not just transcription — is where the value is. AssemblyAI is building the right platform.
