How the two allowances work
Resonance 1, Fourier, Realtime, and Proficiency share the speech understanding allowance. Orukeet transcription has a separate allowance; optional tasks and request rounding reduce its estimated minutes. Allowances reset monthly. Trials include 25%; extra usage shares one spending cap.
Now serving: Resonance 2 — emotion and style on existing plans; new organizations need separate approval.

Common questions
What exactly does Oruk do?
Oruk turns speech into transcripts, speaker turns, and labels for emotion and delivery. Choose a model for recorded audio or live conversations.
How is it different from speech-to-text?
Speech-to-text tells you what was said. Oruk also analyzes how it sounded: frustrated, excited, hesitant, sarcastic, and more.
What can I build with it?
Voice agents with more context, searchable call reviews, expressive captions, research tools, and other products that work with speech.
Can I try my own audio?
Yes. Open the full demo to use your microphone or upload a short recording. You can try it without an account.
Try your own audioDoes it work in real time?
Use Resonance 1 for a complete English recording: it returns a transcript, emotion and speaking-style labels, and timed segments. Use Realtime for live multilingual transcription with phrase-level emotion. Realtime is in preview and does not return the full file-analysis label set. Orukeet is an option for short English recordings or streamed utterances, with final text after commit.
Which languages and formats are supported?
Spectra-2 transcribes files in 25 languages; Realtime supports 32 locales. Original Resonance 1 and Fourier support English in WAV, FLAC, MP3, M4A, OGG, or WebM. Formats and limits vary by model. Transcription coverage does not establish emotion accuracy.
What happens to my recordings?
Resonance 2 buffers audio in memory until reset or session close and pending work finishes. Stored results exclude audio; 24-hour authorized replay is not a deletion deadline. Optional diarization keeps audio up to 48h and results up to 24h. Metadata is kept for billing, security and support. No training, fine-tuning or evaluation without explicit written agreement.
Data handlingHow accurate are the results?
Performance varies with the model, language, recording, and task. The benchmark report includes dated results, confidence intervals, and evaluation conditions. Emotion scores describe vocal expression, not someone’s inner state.
Read the evaluationsHow does pricing work?
Plans start at $9/month with a 7-day free trial. New organizations need separate approval for Resonance 2.
