• Speko API service Sold on its own

  Hosted, provider-neutral gateway for speech-to-text, language-model and text-to-speech calls that routes each request by measured results with failover before the response begins, so voice-agent developers use one API across providers; sold as 5% on top of the provider's published rate, or $0.09 per minute on Speko infrastructure, with $10 signup credit and an enterprise contract, and offered as a public preview.
