Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which Swiss German dialects are supported by the Speech API?

The API supports all major German-speaking Swiss dialect groups, including Zurich, Bern, Basel, St. Gallen, Valais, Graubünden, and Central Switzerland. Dialects can be specified explicitly or automatically detected.

How low is the latency of the real-time WebSocket streaming API?

Streaming delivers the first audio chunk in under 500 ms (Time-to-First-Audio), allowing natural, interruption-free phone conversations with conversational AI bots.

Is my audio data used for training AI models?

No. All customer audio and transcripts remain strictly confidential, are never used for model training, and can be purged immediately after processing. All data remains 100% in Switzerland.

How can I test the Speech API for free?

Sign up to receive 20 CHF in free test credits for live API testing. In addition, an unlimited synthetic sandbox environment is available free of charge for automated CI/CD testing.
