What we know about AssemblyAI
AssemblyAI is a speech-to-text apis platform: accuracy-led voice AI API for developers and voice agents. This profile tracks every AssemblyAI fact we have verified, each linked to a primary source and dated.
AssemblyAI does not publish a public per-minute rate we have been able to verify, so the price figure here stays blank until we can confirm one. We would rather show nothing than a guessed number; if you have a current AssemblyAI quote, it is the fastest way for us to close that gap.
On capabilities, AssemblyAI covers language auto-detection, word-level timestamps, custom vocabulary / keyterm boosting, entity detection, sentiment analysis, and summarization endpoint. Each of those is verified against AssemblyAI's own docs or dashboard, not marketing copy.
For compliance, with AssemblyAI: SOC 2 Type II is in place. If you are in a regulated space, confirm the current posture with AssemblyAI before you commit, since these change plan by plan.
AssemblyAI ranks the 12th-widest language coverage of the 43 speech-to-text tools we track, so where it lands for you depends on which of those matters more.
In total we track 31 verified facts for AssemblyAI today, each linking the primary source it came from so you can check our work - and vendor claims we have not measured ourselves are labeled as such on the AssemblyAI fact sheet below.

AssemblyAI gets you a transcript; the bot that joins the call, labels speakers, and writes the summary is still your build. If that is more pipeline than you want to own, AI meeting notetakers do the whole job end to end: Otter.ai, Fireflies.ai, Fathom, or the full notetaker comparison.
