IBM
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.

In my experience, XTRF's track record on basic functionality leaves a lot to be desired. Those so-called "smart projects" feel more like needy projects, with limitations popping up at every turn. And don't get me started on the integrations—memoQ? Yeah, I feel like it's a struggle. Customizing notifications? Good luck with that. And as for support, well, let's just say you're better off sending messages to the void.

Usability
IBM
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.

Alternatives Considered

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
