Hume AI
Application
Creator Studio is Hume's web application, hosted at app.hume.ai, for turning written documents into narrated audio: 'From document to audio, effortlessly. Import your content, assign voices, add acting directions, and export production-ready audio.' Hume targets it at creators producing audiobooks, videos, podcasts, documentaries, e-learning courses and corporate training that need multi-voice narration with emotional direction.
API service
Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) is Hume's real-time speech-to-speech voice AI API, described in Hume's docs as 'an advanced, real-time emotionally intelligent voice AI.' The product page markets it as a way to 'Build voice-first AI experiences that understand and respond to human emotions' and states it 'works seamlessly with Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi K2, Llama, and more' - layering voice on top of third-party language models rather than supplying its own. It is billed per conversation minute on Hume's public plans.
The Expression Measurement API measures emotional and vocal expression in speech, marketed as 'Measure expression in voice, offline or in real time.' Hume describes two endpoints on the one page: 'The Tagger API returns 600+ expression and voice dimensions from any audio, at scale. The Prosody API delivers real-time emotional expressions during live conversations.' Measured dimensions include emotion categories, speaking styles, vocal qualities such as pace, warmth and hesitation, and expression intensity with confidence scores.
The Human Feedback API sells human evaluation of voice and conversational AI as an API call, marketed as 'One API call. Real human ratings.' and 'Plug human evaluation into your pipeline. Audio in, structured results out.' It supports three study types - live conversations with AI models, single-sample audio ratings with custom questions, and side-by-side A/B comparisons - with Hume handling participant recruitment, quality control and fraud detection. Hume states it powers 'evaluation for Hume's own frontier voice models.'
Octave TTS is Hume's text-to-speech API, which Hume's documentation calls 'the first text-to-speech system built on LLM intelligence.' The marketing page positions it as 'Text-to-speech with emotional intelligence' that generates 'expressive, natural-sounding speech that conveys the full range of human emotion,' with SDKs for Python, TypeScript, .NET and Swift and streaming audio output. It is billed by characters on Hume's public self-serve plans.
Resemble AI
Application
A free Chrome extension that scans images, video and audio on social and news sites and returns an Authentic, AI-generated or Uncertain verdict with confidence scoring, waveform analysis and image heatmaps.
A meeting-bot service that joins Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and Webex calls from a connected calendar and flags face swaps, voice clones and synthetic personas in real time with alerts to email, Slack, Teams or SMS.
A simulated-attack training platform that clones executive voices and runs adaptive conversational vishing, WhatsApp, SMS and email campaigns against employees, with risk scoring and compliance reporting.
API service
An asynchronous audio processing API that edits spoken content by AI inpainting of only the changed segments, and enhances recordings with noise removal, loudness normalization and studio processing.
Deepfake detection across audio, image and video, billed per second and per image, with intelligence on each detection result and identity and watermarking tools sold alongside it for fraud prevention.
A voice biometric API that enrolls speaker profiles from short audio samples and returns per-speaker match distance scores for identity verification and watchlist screening.
An explainability layer that returns human-readable forensic explanations, speaker profiling, fraud classification and transcription alongside Resemble Detect's deepfake verdicts.
An API-first interpretation layer that sits on top of Resemble's detection stack, converting deepfake-detection results into fraud/impersonation judgments and recommended responses.
A voice conversion API that re-voices a recorded human performance into one or many target voices while preserving the original pacing, inflection and emotional delivery, with prompt-guided accent and tone steering.
A streaming text-to-speech API offering sub-200ms WebSocket synthesis, zero-shot voice cloning from about five seconds of audio, custom pronunciation locking and paralinguistic tags.
A voice cloning and voice design service offering rapid clones from ten seconds of audio, professional clones trained from longer recordings with consent workflows, and text-prompted generation of new voice candidates.
Embeds imperceptible, machine-readable watermarks into audio, video, images and text at the point of creation (built on the PerTh Multimodal model) to establish provenance, ownership and AI-generation status, supporting C2PA and SynthID verification and EU AI Act Article 50 compliance.
No counterpart
Hume AI sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Resemble AI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Platform
Evaluation platform for voice agents: it builds evaluation suites from real-world use cases, simulates agent-to-agent and human-to-agent conversations against any voice model, and tracks regressions over time.
Data service
Data Solutions is Hume's licensed AI training-data offering, headlined 'Voice Training Data Built by Researchers, for Researchers' and described as 'Datasets for creating realistic voices across global languages, powering our own state-of-the-art models, and now available to power yours.' The catalogue spans voice datasets covering 50+ languages, 48+ emotions and 600+ voice descriptors, plus expression and multimodal datasets for facial expression, vocal bursts, speech prosody and text emotion. Hume also sells custom data collection with defined speakers and recording conditions, and API access for programmatic data refresh and generation.
