Voice, speech and transcription tools convert between spoken audio and text with AI models. On one side are dictation and transcription apps that turn speech into text at the cursor or produce meeting notes; on the other are synthesis tools that generate speech, clone voices or dub video. Many recent options run speech models entirely on the local device, which separates them from cloud meeting assistants that upload recordings.
What belongs in this category: A product belongs here when speech recognition, speech synthesis or voice cloning is its core function, rather than an incidental feature inside a meeting, chat or video editing tool.
