Roark Live Bench · Suite v1.3 · Sweep of 23 October 2026
Voice AI models, ranked on live phone calls.
Every speech-to-text, language model and text-to-speech model, run in every combination on the same real call to the same agent. A model is ranked on every stack it runs in; the stacks are the evidence.

The read
- 430 of 642 cascades complete the task in at least 90% of calls, and the top 10 sit within 1 point of each other. What separates the top stacks is speed and cost.
- Median response time runs from 0.5 s to 6.0 s on the same agent and the same caller, a spread of 5.5 s that comes entirely from the models behind it.
- No stack wins everything. The fastest, OpenAI Whisper-1 + Google Gemini 3.8 Flash + OpenAI TTS-1 HD at 0.5 s, ranks 530 of 642 on task completion; the most complete is Speechmatics Linden-1 (own VAD) + OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol + OpenAI TTS-1 HD at 99%.
- The language model matters most: swapping it moves task completion by 7 points, against 3 for the speech engine and 2 for the transcriber.
Cascade vs Speech-to-Speech
The first choice to make. A cascade chains three models: one transcribes, one decides what to say, one speaks. A speech-to-speech model does all three at once. Both run the same agent on the same calls here.
- Cascades lead on task completion, tool use and time to first word; speech-to-speech leads on response time and cost per task. Neither wins outright, so the right choice depends on what your calls need.
- The biggest difference is task completion: 95% for cascades against 77% for speech-to-speech.
| Measure | Cascade | Speech-to-speech |
|---|---|---|
| Task completion | 95% (leads) | 77% |
| Tool use | 72% (leads) | 55% |
| Time to first word | 0.7 s (leads) | 1.3 s |
| Response time | 3.6 s | 2.6 s (leads) |
| Cost per task | $0.15 | $0.15 (leads) |
The three strongest of each, averaged. Cascades: Speechmatics Linden-1 (own VAD) + OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol + Cartesia Sonic-3.5; AssemblyAI Universal-3.6 Pro + OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol + Rime Coda; Speechmatics Linden-1 (own VAD) + OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol + Rime Coda. Speech-to-speech: grok-voice-think-fast-2.0; gemini-3.8-live; amazon.nova-2-sonic-v1:0. Each measure is scored 0 to 100 on its own scale, further out is better; the table gives the same figures in their own units.
Which to use
- Choose speech-to-speech when the pause matters more than the outcome: short transactional calls, callers who interrupt, queues where every half second costs you callers. Expect to pay more, and choose the model carefully (gpt-live-1 (backend gpt-6.1-sol) leads here).
- Choose a cascade when the call has to complete, when cost matters, or when you need to see which stage to fix. It is 13 points ahead on task completion here.
- Costs are what each stack’s providers charged for these calls, at the rates in effect when they ran. Telephony and hosting are not included.
Speech-to-Text
The transcriber turns the caller's speech into text. It decides what the agent thinks it heard, and nothing after it can start until it finishes.
- AssemblyAI Universal-3.6 Pro, AssemblyAI Universal-3.5 Pro, Deepgram Nova-3 and Speechmatics Enhanced (realtime) are level: none leads by more than the margin of error. Of them, AssemblyAI Universal-3.6 Pro costs least, at $0.030 a call. Avoid Speechmatics Linden-1 (own VAD): last on semantic word error rate (2.2%).
- Speechmatics Linden-1 (own VAD) delivers its transcript in 0.49 s, OpenAI Whisper-1 in 1.93 s: 1.44 s added to every turn of the call.
- AssemblyAI Universal-3.6 Pro is the most accurate: it changes the meaning of 0.9% of the caller's words, against 2.2% for Speechmatics Linden-1 (own VAD).
- In 341 of 648 cascades the transcriber is the slowest step of the turn, whichever model runs it.

Language model
The language model decides what the agent says and does. It has the most influence on whether the task gets done, and usually takes the largest share of each turn.
- Pick OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol: it leads on task completion (95%), tool use (71%) and instruction following (4.2 / 5). If speed matters more, Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5 is the quickest, at 0.36 s, and completes 91%. Avoid OpenAI GPT-5.1: last on tool use (33%) and instruction following (4.1 / 5).
- Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5 starts answering in 0.36 s, Google Gemini 3.8 Flash in 1.47 s: 1.11 s added to every turn of the call.
- OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol uses its tools most reliably: it handles its tools without a mistake on 71% of calls, against 33% for OpenAI GPT-5.1.
- In 161 of 648 cascades the language model is the slowest step of the turn, whichever model runs it.
Open a model to see where it ranks and the stacks it works best in.
Text-to-Speech
The speech engine is the voice the caller hears, and the last step before they hear anything.
- Cartesia Sonic-3.6, Cartesia Sonic-3.5 and ElevenLabs v4 Turbo are level: none leads by more than the margin of error. Of them, Cartesia Sonic-3.5 costs least, at $0.165 a call. Avoid OpenAI TTS-1 HD: last on readback accuracy (80%), word error rate (8.7%) and time to first audio byte (2.09 s).
- ElevenLabs v4 Turbo starts speaking in 0.11 s, OpenAI TTS-1 HD in 2.09 s: 1.97 s added to every turn of the call.
- Cartesia Sonic-3.6 is the most accurate: it reads codes, amounts and dates back correctly 87% of the time, against 80% for OpenAI TTS-1 HD.
- Cartesia Sonic-3.6 sounds the most human: 3.8 / 5, against 3.4 / 5 for ElevenLabs Flash v2.5.
- In 99 of 648 cascades the speech engine is the slowest step of the turn, most often with OpenAI TTS-1 HD (54 of them).

Speech-to-Speech models
One model listens, reasons and speaks, so there is nothing to swap and no stages to split. Each is judged on the whole call, with the same calls and the same scoring as every cascade.
- The model matters as much as the architecture: gpt-live-1 (backend gpt-6.1-sol) completes 86% of tasks, ElevenLabs Realtime v1 Mini 42%.
- grok-voice-think-fast-2.0 answers in 2.1 s against 4.1 s for gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025.
- Price varies as much as quality: $0.06 per completed task for amazon.nova-2-sonic-v1:0, $0.69 for gpt-realtime-2.

Every stack
The evidence behind the model boards: each combination on its own calls, scored on the same recipe. Open a stack for its full report, every figure it was scored on and the calls behind them.
Each score carries its 95% margin of error. A rank is the best place a stack could hold once every margin is allowed for, so stacks the calls cannot tell apart share one and are listed by the low end of their margin; hover a rank for the worst place it could hold. 92 stacks are level with the leader: their calls cannot tell them apart. Among them, 31 Google Gemini 3.8 Flash, 29 OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol, 19 Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5.5, 9 Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5, 2 OpenAI GPT-4o mini, 1 OpenAI GPT-4.1 and 1 speech-to-speech; 48 AssemblyAI, 23 Deepgram and 20 Speechmatics; 48 Cartesia, 33 ElevenLabs, 9 Rime and 1 OpenAI. A cascade's figures are 25% its own calls and 75% what every other stack shows about its transcriber, language model and voice.
Not ranked here for missing data: Speechmatics Linden-1 + OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol + OpenAI TTS-1 HD (no response time or tool use or human-likeness or readback accuracy or voice consistency).
By industry
Each industry ranked on its own calls: the same five callers, its own tasks and tools. A stack has a handful of calls in each, so a cascade is ranked on what its transcriber, language model and voice show across every stack in that industry, and a speech-to-speech model on its own calls there. Pairings show on the main board. Every panel is on one scale, so a bar reads against the other industries as well as its own.
Healthcare
Reschedule an appointment. A patient moves a dermatology appointment around a work schedule, corrects their date of birth, narrows the times twice, and asks about the change fee, parking and insurance.
Home services
Urgent repair: triage and booking. A caller with a burst pipe needs safety advice first, then an emergency visit. The unit on file is out of date, the callback number gets corrected, and the caller pushes for an earlier visit.
Insurance
Report a new auto claim. A driver who was just rear-ended reports a claim, corrects the policy number, spells the other car’s plate, asks about the deductible, a rental and their premium, and needs a tow.
Customer support
Internet outage troubleshooting. A technical caller who has already rebooted the gateway pushes back on scripted steps, wants the line fixed, and asks for a bigger credit for the downtime.
How it works
Every number on this page comes from real phone calls, placed and scored the same way for every stack.
Real calls, four industries, five callers
Roark places real phone calls over the public phone network to a reference agent for each of four industries: rescheduling a clinic appointment, booking an urgent home repair, opening an auto insurance claim and fixing an internet outage. Each agent has its own prompt and tools, identical for every stack. The tasks carry the details real calls trip on: a corrected date of birth, a policy number spelled out, a constraint added halfway through.
Every industry is called by the same five simulated callers: a quiet US English line, a Spanish-accented caller on a city street, an Indian English caller in a busy café, a flustered Southern caller with a baby crying, and a fast caller who interrupts over construction noise. They are equally clear about what they want, so a call fails because of the agent, not the caller. Only the models change, so any difference on the board comes from them.
Each caller rings each industry once for a cascade and four times for a speech-to-speech model. A cascade's figures also draw on its parts, heard in dozens of other stacks; a speech-to-speech model has only its own calls, so it takes more of them.
That makes industries comparable over the same callers, and callers over the same tasks, and the board can be re-ranked by either. One caller within one industry is too few calls to judge, so the board never shows it.

Every model, in every combination
9 transcribers, 8 language models and 9 voices are run in every combination with each other, beside 13 speech-to-speech models. A model's own figures pool every stack it runs in, adjusted for its partners in each one, so every model is compared as if it ran with the same partners. A transcriber's figure rests on hundreds of calls with every language model and every voice, not on one lucky pairing.
That measures a model where it actually works: inside a running agent, on live phone audio, through interruptions, corrections and real turn-taking. A test that feeds a model clean audio files or one prompt at a time never sees any of that.
One score, weighted by what matters on a call
Each section ranks on a Roark score. Every figure scores 0 to 100 between two published points: full marks where doing better makes no difference to the caller, zero where the call breaks down. Each then counts at its weight, and the weights follow one order everywhere: whether the caller got what they rang for, then whether the agent got it right, then speed.
A stack, cascade or speech-to-speech, is scored on the outcome and the reply first, then on what each of its components got right on its own calls: the words its transcriber got wrong in a way that changes the meaning, whether its voice read codes and amounts back right, how human it sounded, and whether its tools were handled. A component that leads its section lifts every stack that carries it, by the same recipe for every stack. A figure a stack cannot carry, such as a semantic word error rate for a speech-to-speech model with no transcript, is credited at the field median, so the stack is neither flattered nor punished for it.
On a full sweep each cascade's figure is 25% what its own calls measured and 75% what every other stack shows about its transcriber, language model and voice, fitted across the whole sweep. The split is the same for every stack, so a lucky run does not lead and a stack's score does not move with how noisy its calls were. In an industry a stack has a handful of calls, so a cascade's figure there is what its transcriber, language model and voice show across every stack in that industry's calls, and a speech-to-speech model's is its own calls there. How a particular pairing beats or misses its parts shows on the main board, where each stack has all of its calls. The best overall pick, on the main board and in each industry, is the stack whose score is highest at the low end of its margin of error, so a few lucky calls cannot carry a stack past one whose score rests on hundreds. Stacks that share a rank are listed the same way, so the first row is the pick.
That order comes from real-world voice agent calls, where getting the conversation right predicts how a call ends more strongly than speed does. The latency points come from the same calls: replying faster than about 2 seconds made no measurable difference, and calls went measurably worse once the agent took more than about 3 seconds to reply.

|---|---|---|---|
Task completionscenario_adherence_check | 21% | 100% | 80% |
| An agent that completes fewer than four calls in five is not fit to deploy. On a full sweep, a cascade's figure is 25% what its own calls (20 or more) measured and 75% what every other stack shows about its transcriber, language model and voice, the same split for every stack, so a lucky run does not lead. Where the sweep is too small for that, and for a speech-to-speech model, the figure is the stack's own. In an industry a stack has a handful of calls, so a cascade's figure there is what its transcriber, language model and voice show across every stack in that industry's calls, and a speech-to-speech model's is its own calls there. How a particular pairing beats or misses its parts shows on the main board, where each stack has all of its calls. | |||

Counted only with price factored in: Cost per call
Factor in price and cost takes 25% of the score; the other weights keep their proportions. Price is scored on a log scale, so each doubling costs the same points.
A figure listed as shown, not scored is on the section’s boards and outside its score. Where a section has not collected a scored figure yet, the others share its weight.
Every call recorded and judged
Every call is recorded. Judge models score each transcript for the outcome and the conversation, and the timings come from the recording. Every figure links to the calls behind it.
Roark is on both sides of every call: it plays the caller, so it keeps the exact text its caller said, and it runs the agent under test, so it sees what the agent’s transcriber heard and what its model wrote for its voice. The transcript and voice figures come from lining those up, with no hand-made transcript in between. Each carries a margin from the synthetic voice or Roark’s transcriber in the loop. Every model faces the same ones under the same conditions, so the figures compare models on the same calls through the same voice and the same ear, though those slips need not fall evenly on each model. The rates will not match a vendor’s figure on a curated set; read them against each other.

AGENTBrightwave Internet support, this is Alex. What’s going on with your service?
CUSTOMERHey.
CUSTOMERSo my Internet's been out for two hours now. I work from home, so this is urgent. There's a road crew digging up the street right outside, and I think that might be the cause. I already rebooted the gateway twice and checked every cable, but the Internet light is blinking orange. You check what's happening?
AGENTI can definitely check into that for you. Could you please provide your account number or the phone number associated
CUSTOMERMhmm.
CUSTOMERYeah. Account number is BW883017. Wait. Sorry. Last digit is one. So BW883011. My phone number is +1 (364) 999-8959. Can you see if the road crew is the cause? I really need this fixed quickly.
CUSTOMERHello?
AGENTThanks for waiting. I checked your account, BW883011, and there is no area outage reported, so the road crew
CUSTOMERYeah. That's right. What's the issue? Is it the road work? I need to know how long does it last.
AGENTThe line test showed a strong signal reaching your home, but the gateway was
CUSTOMERUh-huh.
CUSTOMERYeah. I know. I already rebooted the gateway twice and checked all the cables. The Internet light is still blinking orange. What else can you do from your end?
AGENTI sent a remote reset to your gateway from our end, and it is now showing registered and online in our system. It typically takes about two minutes for your devices
CUSTOMEROkay.
CUSTOMERYep. The light just went solid white. How long until my devices reconnect?
AGENTIt usually takes about two minutes for your devices to automatically reconnect.
CUSTOMERAlright.
CUSTOMERI'll keep an eye on it. While I've got you, can you give me a credit for the downtime? I lost two hours of work.
AGENTI've applied a $10.00 service credit to your account, BW883011, for the downtime. It will appear on your next bill. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
CUSTOMERI really lost two hours worth of work. Can you make it more than $10?
AGENT$10.00 is the standard credit our system authorizes for this duration of downtime,
CUSTOMERRight. I get it. Thanks for helping out. I'll watch for the credit. Goodbye.

CUSTOMERThat work
CUSTOMERYes. Thursday at 04:10PM is good for me. Could you confirm the time and give me the confirmation code?
AGENTYou are all set! Your appointment with Dr. Okafor has been rescheduled to Thursday at 4:10 PM. Your confirmation code is RVB-3M8P2. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early with your photo ID and insurance card. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
CUSTOMERYes. Just a couple of quick questions. Is there a fee for changing the appointment?
AGENTThere is no fee for changes made more than 24 hours in advance. Changes made later carry a $40 fee. Since we rescheduled well ahead of time, there is no fee for this change. What else can I answer for you?
CUSTOMERWhere should I park when I arrive?
AGENTFree patient parking is available in Lot C, with the entrance located on River Road.
CUSTOMERGot it. One last thing. Does doctor Okafor accept Aetna insurance?
AGENTI don't have direct access to insurance provider networks, so I can't confirm whether Dr. Okafor accepts Aetna. I recommend checking directly with your insurance plan or contacting our billing department to make sure Dr. Okafor is in-network. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
CUSTOMERNo. That's everything. Thanks for your help. Goodbye.
AGENTYou're very welcome, Jordan. Have a great day, and goodbye!
Home services
AGENTCopperline Home Services, this is Alex. What can I help you with?
CUSTOMERHey. Hi. Sorry. I've got kind of an emergency here. The pipe under my kitchen sink just burst, and there's water spreading all over the floor heading right for a power strip. Haven't shut the water off yet. Can you walk me through what I'm supposed to do? I need someone out here soon as possible, please.
AGENTFirst, please stay clear of that standing water and do not touch the power strip or anything plugged into it. If your electrical panel is in a dry area and you can safely access it, flip the breaker for the kitchen. Next, let's shut off the water right away. If you can reach under the sink safely without stepping in water near that electrical strip, look for the shutoff valve right under the sink and turn it clockwise. If that's not safe or accessible, go straight to your main water shutoff valve—usually located in the basement, garage, or outside near the meter—and turn it off completely. Once you're in a safe spot and the water is off, could you give me your address and phone number so I can look up your account and get a technician out to you immediately?
CUSTOMEROkay. I'm away from the water now. And I just turned off the main valve. The water stopped. Thank goodness. Sorry. I'm a little frazzled. My address is 1480 Larkspur Avenue. And my phone number is (503) 555-0139. No. Sorry. 0193. Could you double check that you got it right? I just wanna make sure nothing gets mixed up.
AGENTGreat job getting that water shut off. I have your phone number confirmed as (503) 555-0193, and your address is 1480 Larkspur Avenue. I see unit 4B on file—is that correct? Also, are there any gate codes or special access instructions to get to your unit?
CUSTOMERSorry. That's not quite right. I actually moved last Month. I'm In Unit 4 D now, not 4 B. And, yeah, there's a gate code. Pound 2719. Is that enough for the technician to get in? I wanna make sure they don't get stuck outside.
AGENTGot it, I’ve updated that to Unit 4D with gate code #2719. Our earliest emergency window today is between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM. As a Copperline Care member, your emergency callout fee is discounted to $99. Does that window and fee work for you so I can go ahead and book it?
CUSTOMERSorry. Is there any way someone could come before two? I've got a baby here, and I'm just real anxious about all this. If that's not possible, I'll take the earliest you can do. But I'd really appreciate it if there's any chance for something sooner. And just to check, that $99 that's the total. Right? No hidden fees or anything?
AGENTI completely understand with the baby there, but 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM is our earliest available window today. I have that booked for you now. To clarify the pricing: the $99 is the emergency callout fee to dispatch the technician to your home. Any parts and labor needed for the repair will be quoted for your approval before work begins, with payment by card or check upon completion. The technician will text your callback number 30 minutes before arriving. Let me confirm all the details: - Service Address: 1480 Larkspur Avenue. - Unit: 4D. - Gate Code: #2719. - Callback Phone: (503) 555-0193. - Ticket Number: CPL-58210. - Arrival Window: Today, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Please continue to keep everyone away from that kitchen area until the technician arrives. Is there anything else I can assist you with right now?
CUSTOMEREverything, I think. Thank you for helping me get this sort
AGENTYou're very welcome! Stay safe,
AGENTand our technician will see you between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM today. Have a good rest of your day!
Insurance
AGENTNorthgate Mutual claims, this is Alex. Are you somewhere safe right now?
CUSTOMERYes. I am safe. I am standing next to my car in a cafe right now.
AGENTI'm glad to hear you're safe. Was anyone injured in the accident?
CUSTOMERNo. Nobody was injured. Everyone is okay.
AGENTThat's a relief to hear. To get started, may I please have your auto policy number and your last name so I can look up your file?
CUSTOMERSure. My policy number is NG4471903. No. Sorry. Last one is 2. My last name is Mehta.
CUSTOMERHello?
AGENTThank you, Mr. Mehta. I have your policy number verified as NG4471902 for your 2021 Honda CR-V. Could you tell me when and where the accident happened, and what took place?
CUSTOMERYes. The accident happened about twenty minutes ago. I was stopped at a red light at SE 5th Avenue and Alder Street. Another car hit the back of my car. The back bumper is crushed, and the rear wheel is rubbing. So I cannot drive it. Police did not come.
AGENTI'm sorry that happened, Mr. Mehta. Did you happen to get the other driver's name, their insurance company, and their license plate number? Also, what is a good callback phone number for you so we can arrange a tow since your car cannot be safely driven?
CUSTOMERYes. I have the details. The other driver is Kevin Lund. Insured with Pacific Shore. The license plate is 7KX like X-ray, R214. My phone number is 50762000260.
AGENTThank you, Mr. Mehta. I have opened your claim: - Policy Number: NG4471902. - Other Driver's License Plate: 7KXR214. - Claim Number: NGM-904417. Your claim has been assigned to adjuster Priya Shah, who will be in touch within one business day. Since your Honda CR-V cannot be safely driven, I have dispatched a tow truck through Eastside Towing to SE 5th Avenue and Alder Street. Their estimated time of arrival is about 45 minutes, and they will take the car to our partner repair shop at 9th and Morrison. They have your callback number as 507-620-0260 if the driver needs to reach you. Do you have any questions about your coverage or the next steps?
CUSTOMERYes. Kindly clarify. How much do I have to pay for the repair? And do I get a rental car while my vehicle is being fixed? Also, is my premium going to increase because of this claim?
AGENTUnder your policy: - Repair Deductible: Your collision deductible is $500. - Rental Car: You have rental reimbursement coverage of $40 per day for up to 30 days, starting from today since the claim has been opened. - Towing: Your roadside towing coverage covers up to 25 miles. Regarding your premium, I am not able to determine whether rates will change. Your assigned adjuster, Priya Shah, will review the details of the accident and can discuss any questions regarding liability and premiums when she contacts you. Is there anything else I can help you with today, Mr. Mehta?
CUSTOMEROkay. But he hit me, so I should not have to pay that deductible. Right? And just to confirm, my claim number is NGM904417? If that is all, thank you for your help. Goodbye.
AGENTI understand your concern about the deductible.
AGENTIf the other driver's insurer accepts liability, your adjuster will work to recover that deductible for you, and Priya Shah can explain how that process works. Yes, to confirm, your claim number is NGM-904417. You're very welcome, Mr. Mehta. Take care, and goodbye!
