Twilio's ASR, voice intelligence, and ConversationRelay primitives for voice agents.
Best for existing Twilio customers wiring LLMs onto Programmable Voice without leaving the stack. Pricing: see vendor pricing.
What it is
Twilio offers ConversationRelay and Voice Intelligence as the building blocks for AI voice agents on top of its carrier network. Developers stream call audio to their own LLM via WebSocket and receive TTS audio back, while Twilio handles SIP/PSTN, recording, and basic ASR. It is the default choice for teams already deep in Twilio.
Watch out for: Twilio carrier costs apply on top of model costs; relay still maturing.

How is Whipscribe different from Twilio Voice Intelligence + Agents?
Twilio Voice Intelligence + Agents is another vendor's product; Whipscribe is a per-minute transcription service.

$0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum: a 3-hour recording is about $2.16, a thousand-hour archive is about $720 once.

Where is the Twilio Voice Intelligence + Agents category heading?
Three things are moving across the whole speech-to-text market right now: summaries, action items and speaker insights generated on top of the transcript rather than sold separately; private, secured deployment where the audio never leaves a boundary you control; and agent access — transcription exposed as a tool that Claude, Cursor or a workflow runner can call directly. Whipscribe ships all three today: per-job insights, our own servers, and an MCP server.
Whipscribe is a hosted transcription service. If you want transcripts without running infrastructure, paste a URL or drop a file in the form below — you'll have a transcript in seconds.
