So, I've had scenarios like when I collaborate with a team where the people are from around the world. So, I used it there, and we spoke to each other in their native language. That boosts everyone's confidence in our collaborative efforts. I've also utilized its model and the API in my projects, including a Virtual assistant and a multilingual application that allows us to learn languages from around the world. We tested it with a group of 12 people, and that's when it failed. I mean, it's not a failure, but it can't detect every person.

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.
