About AssemblyAI

AssemblyAI provides speech models and APIs that transcribe voice audio and extract information from it. Developers use them to build voice features into their own products. The platform includes a pre-recorded speech-to-text API, a realtime speech-to-text API, a speech understanding API, a voice agent API, and a dictation API. Transcripts are available in 99 languages. Deployment is listed as either self-hosted or cloud.

The Text-to-Speech API is listed as coming soon, so speech generation is not currently offered. The homepage does not state pricing, so cost information should be checked directly with the provider.
