I use Amazon Translate plug-in in my regular translation
work. I realized that it does better in marketing and general texts. It still
suffers from some shortcomings when it comes to the specific linguistic
feature of Arabic. It makes some grammatical mistakes. It does not sound
natural in some instances because of using uncommon word combinations.

This service is well suited for scenarios where you need to integrate text-to-speech and/or speech-to-text into applications. Within our organisation, it is primarily used by students for development purposes to enable said functionality but is also used to provide accessibility to students who have hearing-related issues. Its multi-language support is also beneficial for our international students who have English as a second language and are therefore able to rapidly translate any text or speech that they do not understand.

I use Google Translate and Amazon Translate. I find them both helpful. What I like more about Amazon Translate is that I can control the privacy of my files. The text entered into Google Translate enters its database and might be used for further improvement of their service; however, I do not like exposing the data of my clients to a third party. Therefore, I find Amazon Translate wins by large in this regard.

Azure Cognitive Speech Services is simple and the interface is not complicated even for those getting started with these customer services tools and the best voice recognition. Setting the platform dashboard preferences is also an easy process and with the ability to manage workflow and document management the system functions are stable and effective.
