I would definitely recommend it, as it is one of the best speech-to-text applications available on the market. I gave 7 out of 10 because of the integration with third-party tools. Most organizations don't use the IBM ecosystem and are limited to a single environment, so they need to be easily integrated without being overly complex.
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
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.
IBM Watson Speech-to-Text usability is excellent, and I highly recommend it as well. It is faster, takes accurate notes, and summarizes the points accurately. Also, it is very easy to navigate through the transcripts. If there is a long team meeting, one can jump to the information without wasting much time, as it also reduces manual work.
