Reson8

Reson8 (Resonate Labs B.V.) is a Balderton Capital-backed speech-recognition company offering an infrastructure-grade automatic speech recognition (ASR) API. Its differentiator is text-based, hyper-custom domain adaptation: feed up to ~1M tokens of domain vocabulary and a custom model adapts in under 60 seconds with no audio datasets or fine-tuning, cutting word error rate versus generic engines. The v1 API at api.reson8.dev provides realtime WebSocket streaming, turn-level events for conversational voice agents, prerecorded file transcription, speaker diarization, and custom-model phrase management across ten European languages, on EU-hosted infrastructure with zero audio retention.

agent native

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Reson8 the way a machine reads it — 7 machine-readable artifacts across 3 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Reson8 scores 52.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 64/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Reson8

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Reson8. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 3

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Reson8 Auth API

Exchange an API key for a short-lived access token.

Reson8 Custom Models API

Domain adaptation via custom phrase models.

Reson8 Speech to Text API

Realtime, turn-level, and prerecorded transcription.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
