Whatâs New
Fastest Speech-to-Text Solution on the Market
Weâre thrilled to announce that JigsawStackâs speech-to-text API is now the fastest all around! In our recent benchmark comparison with Groq, AssemblyAI, and OpenAI, JigsawStack consistently delivered:
5s audio files: Processed in just 765ms, faster than AssemblyAI and OpenAI.
1hr+ audio files: Completed in 27 seconds, outperforming competitors on large files.
Low cost: $0.05/hr with industry-leading speed and accuracy.

Join our Embedded Service

We launched a multimodal embedding model in Alpha! Most existing managed embedding services like text-embedding-3-large by OpenAI donât support other modalities beyond text with pretty limited language support. We designed an embedding model to fill the gaps, it supports images, PDF documents, audio and text in over 80 languages.
â Help test the model during Alpha and gain 4+ months free post-launch!

Prompt Engine Upgrades
With Prompt Engine you can now handle larger inputs with increased token limits, enjoy smarter prompts that automatically optimize for better results, and access real-time information using AI Search. More power, same priceâhelping you take your AI workflows to the next level.
vOCR Now Supports PDFs
vOCR just got a massive upgrade! Now, you can extract high-accuracy data from PDFs alongside images and other documents. Perfect for workflows involving invoices, contracts, and more.
Caching Layer
API calls are now faster than ever with caching for key validation, file downloads and long running tasks. Smart caching allows all requests to revalidate dynamically preventing stale responses.
Why This Matters
These updates reflect our commitment to simplifying AI development and delivering tools that empower you to build faster and smarter. Whether youâre processing audio, handling PDFs, or embedding cutting-edge AI into your apps, weâve got you covered.
