Overall Satisfaction with Azure Cognitive Speech Services

We used it for a POC where we had to convert speech recordings from customers calling at our helpline to text. These text scripts were to be used for training and doing an analysis on customer sentiments. Azure cognitive speech services were used to convert speech to text. The scope of the use case was extended to analyze all customer conversations calling for inquiries and support.
  • Deployment is easy since its available on the cloud.
  • It is directly as a service and no expertise in AI or ML is needed by the development team.
  • Security of data since Azure promises that it does not store the data of the customers that is used by the service.
  • More support for India regional languages and the ability to interpret Indian dialect.
  • More detailed documentation with more coded examples to be available.
  • Security and privacy of client's data - this is most important.
  • Support for multiple languages available.
  • Support from Azure and its partner ecosystem.
  • It has improved productivity of sales training program by 9%.
  • It has reduced manpower at helpline by a significant amount.
Yellow Messenger didn't have Speech to text capabilities. Azure Cognitive Speech Services was specifically selected because it had the capabilities of text to speech and speech to text both with the added convenience of it being deployed on the cloud. The integration and use were also easy.
