Arena.

A side-by-side listening chamber for speech-to-text and text-to-speech. Speak once, hear every engine. Type once, hear every voice. Decide with your ears — before you commit your data.

Prefer self-hosting or reproducible packs? asr-bench is our open-source ASR benchmark and local playground.

I

One draft, every style.

Paste or type a rough, spoken-style draft — filler words, run-ons and all. Compare how different AI styles and providers clean it up. These are the same styles the Acousmos app ships.

Up to 4 columns · Minimal, Shape, Formal, Coding, or your own prompt

Free to try, no signup — a fair-use daily allowance per visitor. Drafts are processed in transit and not stored. Bring-your-own-key mode is coming next.

II

Listen to machines listen.

Press record, say a sentence, press stop — watch each engine transcribe your voice live, with how long it takes to commit the final text. Then send the best transcript up to the style grid.

Up to 60 seconds per take. Audio streams to the engines in transit and is not stored — by us or by them for training.

III

Listen to machines speak.

Type one line, hear the leading TTS voices render it. Your archive is your asset — one day it speaks back. Further out.
