A ready-to-use Speechmatics alternative

Speechmatics is known for its speech-to-text engine and API. RealtimeVoiceKIT pairs accurate transcription with the product around it: a web app where you upload audio or video (or paste a link), see speaker-labeled transcripts with confidence, export SRT or VTT, translate into 100+ languages, and generate AI summaries, with a developer API for when you want to integrate instead of build the UI yourself.
