Original 4.5/5 retained; original scoring worksheet/hands-on evidence unavailable, including for the revised current scope. No re-score.
Overview
Current Hume pages describe VoiceEQ for defining test cases, evaluating voice models/agents and diagnosing failures with automated and human feedback. Expression APIs measure vocal and facial expression. These are vendor-described capabilities, not reliable access to a person's inner emotions or an independently verified quality ranking.
The old documentation endpoint was unavailable and /pricing redirected to the current homepage. This review could not establish current Octave TTS/EVI availability, pricing or entitlements; the navigation change alone does not prove their retirement.
