Hume AI operates through a sophisticated pipeline: incoming audio is transcribed using advanced speech-to-text (STT), processed by large language models (LLMs) for context and intent, and then synthesized back to speech using high-fidelity text-to-speech (TTS) with emotional nuance. This enables applications to not only understand what users say, but also how they feel, and respond accordingly.
