Developer-First Speech Emotion Recognition API

We built the Voice Emotion Detection SDK to be plug-and-play. Whether you need a speech emotion recognition SDK for a mobile app or a high-throughput REST API for your cloud backend, we have you covered.

import voice_emotion_api

# Connect to the stream
client = voice_emotion_api.Client(api_key="your_key")
stream = client.connect_stream()

# Analyze live audio chunk
result = stream.analyze_prosody(audio_chunk)

if result.emotion == "anger" and result.confidence > 0.85:
    alert_supervisor(result.timestamp)

FacialProof vs Other Emotion Recognition APIs
