    It does the job really well. They were one of the first on the scene and have continually improved overtime. It's crazy affordable, I'm always surprised when I see the $5 monthly charge compared to other apps I pay more for and use a lot less.

    Pros

    • Helps in transcription & take notes.
    • Listening to the meeting is very easy.

    • 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.
    • It has an automatic punctuation system that detects each punctuation mark, such as a dot and a comma, and places it in the text.
    • Lastly, it offers a variety of language translations, providing a global platform for interaction with people from different countries.

    Cons
    Fireflies.ai
    • Would love to see the formatting of the summary when I download it look better. The headers are usually far too large and I end up reformatting each summary into my preferred format, layout font, etc. If there’s a way for me to preload, what my preferences are, that would be fantastic so I get a fully complete document without having to do much manipulation after the fact.
    • I have my settings, correct but Fireflies.ai doesn’t always attend every Zoom meeting or every teams meeting. It does about 90% of the time, but there is a 10% failure rate which causes us a huge problem for me.

    • 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

    Given that I work in sales, it is one of the must have tools for the sales team. It helps us understand and review our calls anytime, anywhere. Access to the recording is easy for sales agent as well the team. Summary and transcription saves the time and manual 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.

    Fireflies.ai is made for meetings — that’s its main function — so it doesn’t include fancy features like video editing. If you need to record a podcast, it’s better to use Descript. Google Cloud is a good choice if you already have an audio file and need a very detailed transcription. Fireflies not only helps with transcription, but also with summarization and distribution. So while all three tools offer similar features, if you need a meeting copilot, Fireflies performs better.

    • 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
    • It increased accuracy, because AI makes the transcriptions for every second, and you can find the words which were said at specific time.
