    Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business.

    • So, first of all it gives the answer or translates in real time which is awesome.
    • It has speaker diarization, which detects who spoke each segment. This is a great feature because it can track the number of people as well.

    Cons
    CloudTalk.io
    • A lot of features are still missing, some of which are pretty basic like being able to select multiple filters instead of one.

    • Integration outside of the google eco system is challenging here.
    • Google Cloud Speech-to-Text works only with active internet connection if the internet bandwidth is low it effect the transcription process and can lead to data inaccuracy.
    • In terms of the pricing also this is at higher range which all the companies cannot afford like small scale organisation if they would like to use the tool they would look over the price to make the decision. Reducing the price can increase the product usage more

    CloudTalk is super easy to use and has a great quality. It helps to communicate with the clients easily and we can feel that the sound quality is high, while speaking to the client and while listening to the recordings. This is for our department essential in our day to day work.

    The reasoning behind my 10 is that the UI is very intuitive; I didn't require any formal training to use it. Google's speech-to-text is not just a conversion tool; it helps automate mundane tasks, saves time, and has an almost human-like understanding.

    They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

    It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before.

    • For a similar price it is not necessary to manage so many cell phone accounts
    • Unlike basic telephony. It is possible to have more control of the interactions with our clients.

    • It reduced our budget for assistants who transcribed files manually
    • It speeds up the process, because we can have a transcriptions straight after the interviews
