Pulse is Smallest AI's speech-to-text API, built for real-time voice applications like voice agents, live call transcription, and captioning, alongside a high-throughput batch mode for recorded audio. It streams over WebSocket with sub-100ms time-to-first-token at low concurrency, and includes speaker diarization, word- and sentence-level timestamps, keyword boosting for up to 10,000 custom terms, voice-activity events, and automatic inverse text normalization.

Pulse supports 21 languages on streaming and 26 on batch, with regional auto-detect and mid-session code-switching.

Both models include built-in PII and PCI redaction (currently English and Hindi), plus optional emotion and gender detection on batch jobs. The platform holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance, with on-premise deployment available on Enterprise plans.

Vowise is an AI voice-to-text, dictation, and voice journal app built around capturing thoughts first and organizing them later. Instead of requiring a complete journal entry, Vowise lets people speak about a single thought, how they feel, or one thing that happened that day, then add to or organize the entry later. Voice recordings are transcribed into editable text, and the original audio stays available for playback and checking. It also includes a personal dictionary for names and custom terms, along with full-text search across records.

Beyond voice notes, Vowise supports a photo journal with photo captions, text extraction from images (OCR), and meal nutrition estimates. An Awareness Log keeps daily activities, habits, tasks, and time records alongside the journal. The Review feature brings saved thoughts and notes back as cards, with options to skip a card or choose Less or More to adjust how often a topic returns. With AI Memory, saved memories can be viewed, edited, or deleted at any time, and memory can be paused.

Vowise is available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Web, and as a Chrome extension, with cross-device sync.

Key features:
- Voice diary and audio transcription with audio playback
- Personal dictionary for names and custom terms
- Photo captions, image text extraction (OCR), and meal nutrition estimates
- Awareness Log for daily activities, habits, tasks, and time records
- Card-based note review with frequency controls
- Viewable, editable, deletable, and pausable AI Memory
- Full-text search and cross-device sync

ReelTranscript is a free web tool that turns a public Instagram Reel into a readable transcript. Paste the Reel's share link, let the page process the audio, and you get the spoken words back as text with timestamps. Nothing to install, no account, and no Instagram login is required.

From the result you can copy the transcript to the clipboard, or download an SRT subtitle file — numbered cues, each with a start and end time, ready to open in a subtitle editor.

Most requests finish within seconds of the Reel's own length; a short Reel typically returns in under ten seconds, and a full three-minute Reel in well under a minute.

ReelTranscript accepts links that point to a Reel. Private accounts, restricted Reels, profile links and ordinary photo posts cannot be processed, and the current duration limit is three minutes per Reel. Transcripts are produced automatically by speech recognition, so they can contain errors; the source Reel is shown next to the text so you can check it. Nothing you submit is kept after you refresh the page.
