Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text

I used Google Cloud Speech-to-Text for a client project to transcribe audio to text. This text was then saved into a database. The client could search through the audio hundreds of audio files they had quickly. This was a great option for solving this problem with many audio files.

Pros

  • Low cost.
  • Accuracy
  • Speed

Cons

  • N/A
  • Low cost provides a great ROI while using this API.
  • The accuracy of the words was high; I don't recall a time when the API didn't provide accurate results.
  • Multiple languages and not just English.
The API was very easy to implement. It was actually one of the easiest APIs I have configured. You will be up fast; everything is convenient. There is also an option to detect languages.
For the right circumstance, Google's Cloud Speech-to-Text API provides the best solution for transcriptions. Depending on your usage, I recommend using it for transcribing audio files and creating a database of the transcripts. You could also convert the audio from video files and use this to determine which video has which keywords.
I didn't see other options that are even competitive with using Google's Cloud Speech-to-Text in terms of cost and reliability.
