Hume Launches Audio Decision API: Ask Plain-Language Questions of Raw Audio in One Call, 70.7% Agreement With a Human Panel per Hume
On November 2 voice AI company Hume launched the Audio Decision API, which it calls the first audio-native model that answers questions about speech and sound. Developers upload raw audio, write each question as a sentence with candidate answers, and get back a probability for each answer, with no transcription step. It supports yes/no, multiple-choice, rating-scale and time-span questions, such as how many speakers there are, whether someone laughs, whether a caller sounds frustrated, or whether a siren is in the background. Per Hume, it was trained on more than 10 million human judgments and in an initial evaluation reached 70.7% agreement with a human panel's average judgment, versus 56.5% for an individual rater. Access is currently by request or waitlist.
