Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text

I do a lot of writing, and I do a lot of speaking. I want to keep records of both just in case I need to edit later, and with this Google product it is like carrying an old-fashioned dictaphone with you. Is this a bad thing? Nope - it's just another app that can solve a need without carrying a lot of equipment with you, and the lag time is good - meaning that there isn't a lot of lag.

Pros

  • deciphers tougher words
  • keeps up with my speech speed and patterns
  • maintains an accurate record of what is spoken

Cons

  • It could be faster - there is lag
  • I would like to see a different interface - just a personal thing
  • Better in more of a real time
  • Ability to keep up with speech
  • Ability to translate - if that is your thing
  • Reduced noise cancellation would be good
Because it's one of the features I use the most - and having that ability makes a function of my job a lot easier. And that is what we are all about, getting more function from the devices, apps and software that are around us on a daily basis. I know this one I would still tweak, but it's useable in the form it is now
With all of the speeches that I do, and with all of the writing that I do this is a way for me to flush all of this out - because being someone who communicates for a living anything that can help my job no matter what is a benefit.

Do you think Google Cloud Speech-to-Text delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Cloud Speech-to-Text live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Google Cloud Speech-to-Text go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Cloud Speech-to-Text again?

Yes

I think in settings where the speech or conversations need to be recorded it is effective. I think as the venue gets larger, this gets harder and harder to both record and accurately hear - this is one thing that I didn't try - I haven't had a need for yet.
