Amazon Transcribe can be an excellent tool for businesses where being able to convert speech or audio to text, in a searchable and reportable form, would be useful. For a call center (inbound or outbound), the ability to have a rich transcription of each call (and being able to search it for keywords) is an incredibly valuable benefit. For business meetings, being able to turn a 60 or 90-minute call into a readable transcript to search or refresh yourself or others is a very large time saver which will help you work more efficiently. The software does offer many deeper integrations, such as being able to track script usage (for call centers) or interruptions, deviations, etc.. which would be very valuable to a management team and for training purposes.

I use Google Cloud Speech to Text and Amazon Transcribe. What makes Amazon Transcribe better for me is the accuracy of the audio-to-text conversion. I have found out that Amazone Transcribe is better at handling homophones, contractions, abbreviations, and acronyms. Another feature that makes Amazon Transcribe my No. 1 choice is its use of punctuation marks. I can also feed my own list of vocabulary into Amazon Transcribe to help me acquire better results.
