    Pros
    Google
    • 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
    Google
    • 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

    • Changes with new versions should be well communicated in advance and consider in more detail the impact on existing boardrooms
    • Too expensive
    • Generally, more possibilities for customizing e.g. it should be possible to define security levels for access individually (why do I have to retype my email every time I synchronize?) or it should be up to the users whether and how they want to use labels (why can I only have one label per document?)

    Usability
    Google
    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.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • 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.

    • The only negative thing I can see is that members can be victims of technostress and sometimes forget their password, how to find a document in a session. My role is to help them, reassure them and find a solution with them
    • The positive is that all our members are often members of several committees at once and instead of receiving folders with a ton of documents, which are often cumbersome and heavy, everything is on the IPads. They can also annotate their documents as they want.
