Hume AI 发布了 Hume Audio Decision API，开发者只需一次调用即可让 AI 代理理解音频内容（如说话人数、笑声、情绪等），取代过去需要 10 多个模型的流程，该 API 基于 1000 万+ 人类判断训练，支持实时与长音频分析。
Hume AI announced the Hume Audio Decision API, an audio-native model that answers questions about tone, emotion, language, and speaker count directly from audio without needing a transcript, trained on 10M+ human judgments and 100M hours of audio.
SpeakON introduces a physical button that snaps onto the back of an iPhone, turning voice input into text, notes, and meeting follow-ups, with features like voice typing, translation, offline recording, and agent workflows.
MOSS announced the release of its full-duplex, real-time voice AI called MOSS-Live, which can listen, speak, and handle tasks simultaneously while detecting background noise and natural interruptions, with API access now available.
Voice Arena launched Turing TTS, a benchmark that measures how often listeners mistake AI speech for human speech via a 'Fool Rate'; even the best model, Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS, fools listeners only about 10% of the time.
The next breakthrough in voice AI may come from rethinking how we evaluate models rather than crowning a new top performer, with Voice Arena's Turing TTS benchmark measuring how often human listeners mistake AI voices for real ones.
Introducing Turing TTS, an evaluation measuring how often human listeners mistake AI-generated speech for real human speech; even the best TTS models fooled listeners only ~10% of the time, prompting discussion on better metrics for voice AI progress.
SVPino highlights Voice Arena AI's Joy, a 100,000-hour dual-channel conversational voice dataset with separate per-speaker tracks, overlapping speech, interruptions, pauses, and backchannels, designed to teach voice models conversational timing.
Granola launched a dictation feature for Mac that cleans up and formats speech across all apps, competing with Wispr as voice AI startups converge on combined notetaking and dictation tools, with iOS and Windows versions coming soon.
Deepgram acquires Daily, maker of the popular open-source voice AI framework Pipecat, to strengthen its real-time voice AI infrastructure, while committing to keep Pipecat open-source and launching a new Real-Time Context Standard protocol for voice agents.
Deepgram's new Flux TTS targets a critical accuracy bottleneck in voice-agent pipelines, achieving a 3.4% word error rate on tricky alphanumeric strings like medication names and tracking numbers while preserving natural-sounding speech through the full voice loop.
Nvidia 发布了免费开源权重语音转写模型 Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe（30B 参数，支持 40 种语言）以及 Granary 开源语音数据集 v2，瞄准会议记录和医疗转写等企业应用场景。该模型声称在 Open ASR 等基准上超越竞争对手，且可在单芯片上运行。
Vaani Developer Platform launches as a no-code voice AI harness for building human-sounding voice agents, designing call flows, handling objections, integrating tools, and going live on real phone numbers with structured call data output.
VapiCon 2026 是一场为期两天的前沿语音 AI 峰会，将于 11 月在旧金山 Fort Mason 举办，汇集 Vapi、OpenAI、LangChain、Deepgram 等公司的 50 多位演讲者，探讨语音智能体的发展与未来。
Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that can run on consumer GPUs, being described as a GPT-3 moment for speech.
