Launch HN: Speko (YC S26) – OpenRouter for Voice AI
Speko is a new API service that allows developers to route requests to different speech-to-text models based on language performance. By benchmarking models across various languages, it helps users select the most accurate model for their specific needs.
Why it matters
It addresses the limitation of English-centric model leaderboards, enabling better performance for global applications.
Every speech model, benchmarked language by language, wired into one API.
Which model to call, per language and per objective, decided from published measurements instead of a vendor's English leaderboard.
Their rank in any other language is unknown — including the model that sits at the top of the English table.
