FAQ
Capabilities, coverage, deployment, pricing, and production use.
See all questions →What is VALSEA—and how is it different?
Build for every voice with one API. Add real-time transcription, batch transcription, and voice synthesis across 181 languages, dialects, and accents. VALSEA automatically routes each request to the best-fit engine for lower latency and more accurate results—especially for Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and mixed-language speech. Integrate once and start sending audio.
How many languages does VALSEA support for speech-to-text?
VALSEA supports 181 languages and regional variants—from English, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, and Spanish to Singlish, Hokkien, Tamil, Bengali, Urdu, Swahili, Yoruba, and dozens of underserved Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and European languages.
What makes VALSEA different from Google Speech-to-Text, AWS Transcribe, or Azure Speech?
VALSEA is built for how people actually speak. Its cultural intelligence layer handles accents, slang, code-switching, local idioms, and mixed-language conversations such as Mandarin-English, Hindi-English, and Malay-English. It also provides broader Asian coverage, flexible regional deployment, and pricing designed for emerging-market scale.
Which regions and cloud providers does VALSEA deploy on?
VALSEA runs on AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud, with infrastructure coverage across India, China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, and beyond. Enterprise options include in-region data residency, private cloud deployments, and custom VPC configurations.
Does VALSEA support real-time speech-to-text transcription?
Yes. Real-time mode streams results with sub-second latency for live captions, voice agents, call centres, and conversational AI. Batch mode processes recorded audio for media, compliance, and analytics workflows.
How accurate is VALSEA’s multilingual transcription?
VALSEA reports 90%+ word accuracy across supported languages in real-world conditions, including noise, accents, code-switching, and mixed-language conversations. Enterprise customers can also access domain-specific models, with language benchmarks available on request.
Can I use VALSEA for voice AI, IVR, or conversational AI?
Yes. VALSEA supports production voice AI, IVR, AI agents, customer-service bots, voice ordering, and conversational commerce. Real-time transcription and text-to-speech can work together for multilingual voice interactions.
How does VALSEA pricing compare with other speech APIs?
VALSEA uses transparent credits: 1,000 credits equal $1.00 and usage is deducted at published per-language hourly rates. A free tier is available, while paid plans and enterprise commitments provide higher capacity and volume options.
Does VALSEA handle code-switching and mixed-language speech?
Yes. VALSEA auto-detects speech where people change or mix languages within a sentence, including Hinglish, Singlish, Taglish, and Manglish, without requiring a single language to be selected for every request.
Is there a free tier or trial?
Yes. The permanent free tier includes 1,000 credits per month with no credit card required, letting developers test core-language transcription and available voice capabilities before choosing a paid plan.
What industries use VALSEA?
Use cases include food and beverage, hospitality, fintech, healthcare, BPO and call centres, media, e-commerce, and logistics—especially for businesses serving multilingual customers across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Does VALSEA offer text-to-speech and voice synthesis?
Yes. Text-to-speech uses the same unified API and credit system, with natural-sounding voices available across multiple languages and regional accents. Availability and rates vary by language.

VALSEA Translator questions
What is VALSEA Translator?
It is a browser-based way for two people to speak naturally in different languages and follow the conversation through live captions and translations. There is nothing to install and no API integration required.
Which languages does VALSEA support?
VALSEA supports 181 languages, dialects, and accents. It can also follow code-switching—when someone changes language or mixes languages within the same sentence—without restarting the conversation.
Is VALSEA Translator different from the API?
VALSEA Translator is the fastest way to try the VALSEA speech engine with no setup. The API gives you the same underlying capability to embed into your own app, call flow, agent, meeting workflow, CRM, or internal system.
How is VALSEA different from a generic translator?
Generic translators are usually designed around typed phrases. VALSEA is built for continuous spoken conversations, including accents, mixed languages, multiple speakers, and the context that carries from one turn to the next.
Can I start small with the API?
Yes. API usage starts from $5, so you can test VALSEA on real audio before scaling a production workflow.
Does VALSEA Translator require an integration?
No. VALSEA Translator runs directly in the browser. Open it, speak naturally, and use it as the quickest way to experience VALSEA before deciding what you want to build.
When should I use VALSEA Translator instead of a text translator?
Use VALSEA Translator for a real conversation: meetings, travel, customer discussions, or any exchange where people speak naturally, use regional accents, or switch languages. A text translator may be simpler for a single typed phrase.
Can VALSEA Translator handle people speaking different languages?
Yes. Participants can speak naturally. VALSEA Translator identifies the languages automatically and shows live captions and translations throughout the conversation.
Does VALSEA Translator work offline?
VALSEA Translator requires an internet connection because speech processing happens in the cloud. This is what allows it to use specialist engines for each language and deliver higher accuracy than on-device alternatives.
Can I review the conversation afterwards?
Yes. VALSEA Translator provides a transcript and summary you can review after the conversation, helping you check names, addresses, prices, and other details that are easy to miss in the moment.
How accurate and fast is VALSEA for mixed-language conversations?
In five Southeast Asian mixed-language speech tests, VALSEA produced more accurate transcripts than Gemini, ElevenLabs, and AssemblyAI. It also returned results faster than Gemini and OpenAI in the MUCS and CUMIX tests. That means more words captured correctly and less waiting for the transcript.
Is VALSEA Translator free?
VALSEA Translator is the free way to experience VALSEA's speech engine. No account required — just open it in your browser and start speaking. If you want to build the same capability into your own product, the API starts at $5.

What we believe
No one should be left behind by AI because of how they speak.
VALSEA is building speech intelligence for the real world: multilingual, accented, local, mixed, imperfect, and deeply human.
Understanding should be universal—without asking anyone to change their voice, accent, language, or identity.
