IBM Watson Speech to Text vs. Trados Studio

It's best for real time transcription and when the meeting is between the two speakers. Word recognition is accurate. Also it's available for various platforms, like cloud, apps, on-premise, API support. Price wise it's much better than other competitors. However, there can be still improvement in filtering noise and improving word accuracy. Language support can be increased further

SDL Trados Studio is extremely well suited for expert CAT tool users. More novice users will have trouble getting up to speed. I have an office full of employees that constantly ask questions on how to do specific tasks, mainly because the task sequence is not obvious and is only uncovered by rote repetition of the same things. If you learn and apply the same techniques repeatedly, it becomes easier, but it seems the software was designed by software people, sometimes with little thought to the end users who have to figure it out. I don't know that professional training should be so necessary.

Again, the list of functions is impressive but the way it is organized (not process-driven) and the fact that complex tasks should be close to basic tasks make the product suitable to hardcore users that have a lot of time to research the manuals and blogs. By the way, Nora Diaz is one of the most respectable users of this product. Her videos help a lot!
