AssemblyAI offers speech-to-text APIs with speaker labels, sentiment, and summarisation, used in call analytics and meeting tools. Because most work is asynchronous, an outage often means transcription jobs accepted but never completing, or real-time streaming sessions dropping while the upload endpoint keeps returning success.
