Google Cloud Speech-to-Text vs. Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition

Google Cloud speech-to-text is best suited when you want to work on live calls and transcribe interviews, meetings, customer service calls, and other audio or video recordings into text format. This helps create searchable archives, generate meeting minutes, and improve accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments. The service can provide real-time captioning for live events, webinars, broadcasts, and presentations. This enhances accessibility for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and those viewing content in noisy environments or without sound. It does not work well where the internet bandwidth is not that good; it requires a very good and strong internet connection to work well. And also where there are strong accents, especially in the Mandarin language.

My job requires that I produce lengthy and detailed minutes of meetings and Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is absolutely ideally suited for this purpose. Notably, meetings are recorded and it is extremely easy to playback the recording of meetings while dictating notes. This is a remarkable saving in time and effort in producing minutes that might otherwise take a few days. I cannot think of any scenario where it would be less appropriate to use Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition other than in a situation where it is not possible to dictate for whatever reason.
