Real-Time Emotion Intelligence

Voice AI That HearsWhat Words Can't Say

Most voice AI only hears words. RealSpeak analyzes the raw audio signal itself — pitch, cadence, breath, tremor — across 48 emotion dimensions on every single utterance. No transcription needed.

Beyond Speech-to-Text

We Don't Transcribe.
We Listen.

Traditional voice AI converts speech to text, processes the text, then converts text back to speech. Every conversion loses emotional context. RealSpeak is different — our AI analyzes the raw audio waveform directly, measuring prosodic features that text can never capture: micro-tremors in the voice, breathing patterns, pitch contours, speech rhythm, and vocal tension.

Pitch & Cadence Analysis

A caller's pitch rises when they're frustrated. Their cadence accelerates under stress. We detect these shifts in real-time — before they even finish their sentence.

Vocal Tension & Tremor

Micro-tremors in voice indicate anxiety or distress that words alone can't convey. A customer might say “I'm fine” while their voice tells a completely different story. We hear both.

Breathing & Pause Patterns

Hesitation pauses signal uncertainty. Rapid breathing signals agitation. Long exhales signal resignation. These non-verbal cues are invisible to TTS/STT systems but critical for empathic response.

Live in Three Steps

RealSpeak handles the voice infrastructure and emotion analysis. You handle the business logic.

01

Create an Agent

Define personality, system prompt, voice, and tools via the dashboard or API. Register the webhook where tool calls are sent.

02

Connect a Phone Number

Assign a phone number to your agent. Inbound calls are answered instantly. Or embed the web widget for browser-based voice.

03

Handle Tool Calls

When the agent needs data, RealSpeak POSTs HMAC-signed requests to your webhook. Return results and the agent speaks them naturally.

Built for Conversations That Matter

When understanding emotion isn't a nice-to-have — it's the difference between resolution and escalation.
