    In my experiences while using Google Translate, it has used certain words that translated in a different dialect. For example, there are different dialects of Spanish and Google Translate should be able to recognize each one. Mexico Spanish is different from Puerto Rico Spanish, Spain and other Spanish countries. There should be a translation for each dialect.

    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 with third party tools.
    • Processing time for longer meetings.
    • Catches the background sound/narration, but can be reduced using noise-cancelling channels.

    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.

    Microsft translator is also a very good translator but it has limited language support also it was very expensive at the time when we were looking for a transaltion service when compared to Google Translate. The other reason why we selected this was because we were already using other google products.

    It provides more flexible plans as compared to others. These plans are affordable for Small and medium-scale enterprises. They also offer free trial. IBM Watson has wider integration support with the help of API. It has very low latency in real time transcription. Also there is a formatting feature to Transcribe dates, times, currency etc as per the desired format
