## AI overview

Real World VoiceEQ is a benchmark for evaluating the human quality of voice AI beyond latency and word error rate. It measures how voice systems recognize, produce, and respond to acoustic information such as tone, emotion, speaker identity, and background context across ASR, TTS, speech-to-speech, and speech understanding. The benchmark covers more than 40 voice models, 15+ evaluation dimensions, and more than 60 metrics, using over 1 million human ratings.
