Hume AI lets you query raw audio for tone and emotion
Hume AI just launched its Audio Decision API, an audio-native model that answers custom questions about speech and sound directly from raw audio—no transcripts needed. You can check if a caller sounds frustrated, identify AI voices, or search 40,000 recordings in minutes with simple JSON outputs. Why it matters: instead of relying on words alone, voice agents and call centers can now catch sighs, tone shifts, and unspoken context in real time.
