We can’t wait to see you all for the SF Voice AI meetup today! Casual AI chats and you take a voice app home! 3 hours to go, sign up below

The fastest way to get text into a computer is to talk.If your product has a text field, it has somewhere for dictation to go. Thursday in SF, @iHarnoorSingh shows you how to put it there in about 30 lines of Python. Save your seat: luma.com/xwnkujzr

SF, check your mailboxes 👀 Invites to our SF Tech Week Voice Agent workshop went out this week. Not sure "vintage" feels quite right, but we can't wait to see what you code into your voice-agent sidekick to clip onto your backpack and relive your childhood dreams. Didn't get one?

Blurt: push‑to‑talk dictation on the AssemblyAI Dictation API The Dictation API converts a spoken clip into finished text. Filler words and false starts are removed, and the output can be formatted as notes, a commit message, or a reply to a customer. Built on Universal‑3.5 Pro, it supports 19 languages, processes short clips in under a second, and costs $0.62/hr. Link in comments below

Fingers can't type as fast as your brain moves? That's why the little mic icon is showing up everywhere: notes apps, email, CRMs, coding tools, patient charts. People talk, the app writes it down. On Sept 24 @iHarnoorSingh is showing SF how to build that feature with our Dictation API. Save your seat → luma.com/xwnkujzr?utm_source…

Dear developers, Forms are broken. Questions across multiple pages and endless fields. A slow, painful experience. What if we could answer everything… with a single voice prompt? With dictation, users can input text up to 3× faster. That's why, we’ve launched our Dictation API: assemblyai.com/dashboard/pla…

"um so like can you send me the uh the Q3 numbers" is what the mic heard. "Can you send me the Q3 numbers?" is what the person meant. @iHarnoorSingh walks through the Dictation API playground showing the gap close. Add your key terms, hold to record, read what comes back. Two things worth watching: The key terms field. Type in the vocabulary your users actually say (drug names, SKUs, your own product names) and those words come back spelled right instead of phonetically close. That's the part most dictation projects die on. The turnaround. Typical short clips come back in under a second, on Universal-3.5 Pro, across 19 languages.. Bring your own audio and throw the words your users get wrong at it 👇 assemblyai.com/dashboard/pla…

Sub-200ms latency is hard to picture. Easier to watch. Here's @iHarnoorSingh using the Dictation API. Hotkey down, normal speaking voice, and the text is ready before he looks up from the keyboard. Try the Dictation API yourself: assemblyai.com/blog/dictatio… What would you put dictation into first?

Which of your apps do you wish you could just talk to? Hold a hotkey, talk, let go. The text is there. The Dictation API is live today. It's built for that loop, and for apps where users run it a few hundred times a day. • 134ms p50, so text lands about as fast as you'd type it • Punctuation and casing already applied when it comes back • One endpoint to integrate, so you can ship dictation this sprint Start building: assemblyai.com/blog/dictatio…

Dictation is easy to prototype and hard to ship. Making the speech-to-text → cleanup loop feel instant, at a price that survives production volume, is the actual work. Our forward-deployed engineers walk through it live, Wed Sept 9. Plus, get $20 in credits to build it yourself. Register: assemblyai.zoom.us/webinar/r…
