API service

Speech to Text APIAPI service

Speechmatics' automatic speech recognition API transcribes audio into text in 55+ languages in either real-time streaming or batch mode, with speaker diarization, custom dictionary, translation and summarization options.

SummarizationAPI service

Generates a short summary of an audio file in the same API call that transcribes it, as paragraphs or bullets. It is a Speech Intelligence feature enabled by adding a config block to a batch Speech to Text job, not a product bought on its own.

Text to SpeechAPI service

Speechmatics' text-to-speech API generates streaming synthetic English speech from text with sub-150ms latency using four named voices (Sarah, Theo, Megan, Jack), aimed at real-time voice agent use.

TranslationAPI service

Translates a transcript into other languages in the same API call that produces it, for files or live audio. It is a feature switched on inside a Speech to Text request rather than a separate product; the docs file it under Speech to Text and return the translations alongside the transcript.

Voice Agent APIAPI service

Speechmatics' voice agent offering provides a real-time conversational speech API - including the Flow WebSocket endpoint that chains speech-to-text, an LLM, text-to-speech and function calling - plus a Python Voice SDK for turn detection and speaker management, and integrations with Vapi, LiveKit and Pipecat.

Developer tool

On-Device Speech to TextDeveloper tool

A locally-executing speech-to-text engine for Mac and Windows laptops that runs on about one CPU core plus the device's neural engine or GPU and roughly 800MB of memory, sending no audio over a network and claiming accuracy within 5% of the cloud API.

Verint Systems sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Speechmatics yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
