Overall Satisfaction with Azure Cognitive Speech Services
We have been using chatbots within our organisation for several years. Our users have been asking whether it is possible to have a simulated 'voice conversation' with a chatbot (i.e., the user speaks into their microphone, which is converted into text and passed to the chatbot, which returns a text response which is synthesised into speech). We have recently been using Azure Cognitive Speech Services to handle speech-to-text and text-to-speech elements of interacting with a chatbot.
- Accurate speech-to-text
- Realistic 'voice' when using text-to-speech
- Customisable 'voices' for text-to-speech
- Occasionally, words in text-to-speech are not pronounced correctly
- Sometimes the speech recognition is inaccurate
- We have many non-native English speakers in our organisation, and the speech recognition occasionally struggles to understand certain words spoken in different accents
- Accurate speech recognition
- Realistic synthesized text-to-speech 'voices'
- Ability to translate speech and text from English to German and vice-versa
- Live captions during meetings and presentations
- Positive user response
- Increased usage of internal enterprise chatbots
- Improved accessibility and inclusivity for sight-impaired users
