I use Modulate Platform for the transcription of clinical audiology sessions in my AI Scribe SAAS, and I'm pleased with its features. Modulate's Velma 2 model provides accurate live transcription with diarization and emotional context, all at a fantastic price point. This solution enables me to provide instant clinical notes and session intelligence to our users. I appreciate their innovation, including the emotional context feature. Modulate beats competitors like Deepgram and Assembly AI on price, live stream diarization accuracy, and includes emotional context per utterance, which others don't offer.

As they are still in their rapid development phase, they do not have features like auto account top-up, which would allow me to better make sure I never run out of credits without regularly having to log in and check. Their live streaming API requires Cloudflare workers to work through the server. An API that streams transcriptions via server without exposing the API key via the client would be a nice upgrade and simplify secure streaming implementation. It took some work to get the streaming implemented without exposing the API key in the client as mentioned before. Overall not too hard, but could be simplified.

The accuracy is very good, but for me the standout feature is the emotion detection. As a pre-seed founder, it helps a lot to not only get an accurate transcription, but also to dig deeper into the words and context and understand how they really felt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing to add—it works exactly the way I need it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that Modulate Platform is flexible with its API functionality, allowing it to easily integrate into our existing tools and pipelines. I also appreciate the speed and reliability compared to other tools we've used, and the overall cost has been a significant benefit for us. Modulate strikes the right balance of features for our small team, where simplicity and functionality are very important. Setting it up was very easy, which is a big plus.

The model does a good job detecting audio fakes from ElevenLabs, Coqui, and even Qwen3-TTS and is very quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some noisy audio, especially files with reverb, is being flagged as a false positive when using synth generator RVC coders and try to infer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the transcription API on the Modulate Platform is cheap and very easy to use. The Python API and the website are particularly user-friendly. The API has been working fairly well for me, and the initial setup was pretty easy. Managing everything as an individual with this platform has been easy because the API is really good.

It's not as accurate as something like Whisper, but that is a high bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Modulate platform is modern and highly cost-efficient, and it integrates a wide variety of useful features that can be difficult to find with other STT providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We’ve experienced some latency with their batch STT, which could create problems for anyone trying to use it for time-sensitive operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
