Frequently asked questions
How are you able to give it away for free?
We have powerful model harness technology that makes this possible. In fact, we don't want to stop here. We want to create free coding agents, and video and image generators too.
Why does Giggy have multiple speech modes?
Different generation modes support different latency and queueing needs. See the Pricing page for the current rates and mode details.
What technology powers Giggy?
We built a new speech model around a simple idea: AI doesn’t have to cost a fortune to be good. Our product is an outcome of obsession over every efficiency opportunity in model training without compromising quality.
What is batch, fast and streaming?
Batch is free and queued, with request limits. Fast uses prepaid credits for higher-priority processing. TTS Streaming delivers audio progressively. STT Streaming delivers cumulative transcript text from an uploaded recording or live microphone input; browser microphone previews are capped at 30 seconds, while paid API live input supports up to 12 hours. See Pricing for the current rates and limits.
Can Giggy pricing change?
Our new inference technology makes powerful AI tools almost free to serve, so we are committed to giving away free unlimited basic access to our product.
What is Speech to Text?
Speech to Text turns spoken audio into written text. Upload an audio file or record in your browser, choose Batch or Fast, and copy or download the completed transcript.
Which languages can Giggy transcribe?
Speech to Text supports 25+ languages, including English, Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi. The browser detects language automatically; the API also accepts an optional language. Text to Speech supports 240+ languages.
How long can my STT recording be?
Batch accepts recordings from 0.5 seconds to 25 minutes. Fast and API Streaming accept WAV PCM16 mono 16 kHz recordings from 0.5 seconds to 12 hours. The free browser demo supports recordings up to 30 seconds and files up to 40 MB. Use the API or API Playground for longer recordings.
Is Speech to Text free?
Batch transcription is free and shares the three queued Batch slots with Text to Speech. Fast costs 4,000 credits per input audio hour; API Streaming costs 8,000. Charges use validated recording duration.
Can I use Speech to Text in my application?
Yes. Submit audio to /v1/audio/transcriptions with your Giggy API key. Batch and Fast return an asynchronous generation with a transcript JSON result. Streaming sends cumulative text over server-sent events. Live microphone Streaming accepts recordings up to 30 seconds.
What commercial rights do I get?
