What is Eden AI?
Eden AI's Speech API is a unified API that provides effortless speech-to-text (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities through a single endpoint. The speech-to-text feature recognizes spoken words and converts them into text for further analysis, while the text-to-speech system generates audio from text with the ability to choose associated voices including male or female options.
Key features include no-code model testing through Eden AI's interface for effortless model comparison, unified access to top speech APIs from providers like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Speechmatics, Deepgram, and Assembly AI, centralized billing without multiple accounts, and daily reporting with centralized AI model monitoring for performance, costs, consumption, and secured AI processing. The API supports asynchronous processing and provides clear documentation with code snippets for seamless integration.
This tool is ideal for developers building AI products, startups to industry leaders (trusted by 500+ companies), staffing agencies processing applications, content repurposing teams analyzing blogs/videos/podcasts, staffing agencies, healthcare platforms processing patient surveys, marketing teams, and companies integrating sentiment analysis and topic extraction. It's perfect for those who want to avoid vendor lock-in, simplify multi-provider management, and quickly test multiple speech models without coding.

Frequently asked questions about Eden AI
Do you add any markup on AI providers' prices?
We do not mark up provider pricing. Pricing shown in the model catalog reflects the exact provider prices as published on providers' websites. The only additional cost is a 5.5% Eden AI platform fee, applied at checkout when purchasing credits.
Do you offer discounts for volume?
Yes. For large or predictable volumes, custom pricing can be discussed under the Advanced plan, which includes high rate limits and bulk discounts.
What happens if an AI provider changes its prices?
Provider price updates are reflected automatically in the Eden AI platform, so you'll see the updated pricing without any manual intervention needed.
Can I migrate from self-serve to Advanced later?
Yes. You can start in self-serve mode and move to Advanced at any time without changing your integration, making it easy to scale as your needs grow.
How do I pay for Eden AI services?
Payment is by credit card or bank transfer using Stripe, a secure online payment solution. You can pay from almost anywhere in the world. For larger or advance contracts, we can adapt to specific purchasing or payment processes.
Do I have to pay every time to have credit to use?
No! We strongly recommend activating the auto-refill option, which allows your account to be refilled if your balance falls below a threshold you define. You can also set a maximum monthly auto-refill limit to ensure you never run out of credit.
