EcoHash launches unified API for voice agent development

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

EcoHash has introduced a new platform that simplifies the creation of voice agents by integrating speech-to-text, language model, and text-to-speech functionalities through a single OpenAI-compatible API. The platform utilizes models like Whisper Large v3 Turbo for transcription, Llama 3.1 8B-Instruct for generating responses, and Kokoro 82M for speech synthesis. This unified approach aims to streamline development and billing for developers building voice assistants or spoken interfaces, offering a cost-effective solution at approximately $0.006 per minute.
