Speech-to-text for voice agents that only asks about the word it's unsure of. Your bot gets that word flagged, with the other spellings it heard, and asks once, like a person would, instead of making callers spell everything. €0.48 per hour.

Partial Wrapping a streaming ASR API and returning n-best alternatives is doable. Flagging only uncertain words reliably, with low latency and a voice-agent integration, needs real speech-engineering work.
What it would actually take: Stream audio to an ASR model (Whisper-based or a provider API) that returns word-level confidence and alternative hypotheses, then apply a threshold policy to decide which words to clarify. The hard parts are calibrating confidence, keeping latency low over telephony audio, and integrating with voice-agent frameworks, which needs speech-ML experience.
