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.

Less appropriate for our one of the product which handle the legal documents which are tightly coupled with customers like aggreement or contract based.

As per personal experience, for sure Google Cloud API translation is highly usable, since integration is very easy and straightforward with help docs, able to adope in products quickly. And for general translations, accuracy is peak for all our platform languages. We are translating for 15 languages. However for domain based content, additional validation or monitoring is required

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.
