Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Cloud Speech-to-Text helps us power voice-to-text functionality on our core product for various use cases. For example, in our ATS, the Boolean search feature has a voice search that helps users easily search for candidates. Similarly, we have an AI Assistant within our core product, and users can use voice-to-text functionality to write prompts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Live voice-to-text transcription - for example; using it to write prompts in the AI Assistant.
Multiple language support - it supports multiple languages and not just English.

Cons

For V1 auto language detection should be there.

Return on Investment

Yes, it's developer-friendly and easy to build using Google Cloud Voice-to-speech.

It's appropriate for live transcription of voice-to-text, such as the Boolean search to find candidates in an ATS or writing prompts through voice in an AI Assistant. However, it is not suitable for live multilingual voice as it performs sub-optimally there.
