Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text

I prefer Google Cloud Speech to Text for translating people's queries because my team members are from different countries, and I need to communicate with them effectively. So, it's good to understand their language and speak with them. Apart from that, I implemented its API in my various Python scripts to automate my virtual assistant in different languages. Its custom models and phrase hints improve the accuracy and maintain the process well. Sometimes I also used it for my YouTube video subtitles and podcasts. We can use it in many ways and enhance our capability to work in extreme conditions.

Pros

  • So, first of all it gives the answer or translates in real time which is awesome.
  • It has speaker diarization, which detects who spoke each segment. This is a great feature because it can track the number of people as well.
  • It has an automatic punctuation system that detects each punctuation mark, such as a dot and a comma, and places it in the text.
  • Lastly, it offers a variety of language translations, providing a global platform for interaction with people from different countries.

Cons

  • It has a limited accuracy in a noisy and accented environment so, it can be improved.
  • If there are 5+ people in a conversation, then the speaker diarization will fail. So, this can be enhanced.
  • There are limited emotions for voice, so these can be enhanced. We can add more emotions to the models and train them.
  • It saved us a lot of time and money by eliminating the need to transcribe meetings, interviews, and general discussions.
  • If I talk about my office team, it gives me the power to understand the language of each member, and now I'm not forcing them to translate it into my language.
  • The best part is that it freed us to focus on other aspects, such as innovation, and elaborate on our thoughts, because now we don't have to worry about language; we just need to express our ideas.
I gave it seven because it's excellent, especially when it comes to multi-language support and real-time translation. Its punctuation feature is also really very interesting, as it tests all the sentences and gives us a generic output. I can give it nine if there are some improvements in the speaker diarization, accent, and emotions. It will be great if we can improve the quality of these things.
It delivered high accuracy in accented and noisy environments. Regarding its language support, it offers a variety of languages and dialects. Its's Api's are well-documented and easily integrated with our GCP-based stack. Also, its deployment is fast, and it is cost-effective. And if we talk about its translation, it gives real-time and generic translation with great punctuation. Finally, its speaker diarization makes it a cool and yet powerful tool that helps people.

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

So, I've had scenarios like when I collaborate with a team where the people are from around the world. So, I used it there, and we spoke to each other in their native language. That boosts everyone's confidence in our collaborative efforts. I've also utilized its model and the API in my projects, including a Virtual assistant and a multilingual application that allows us to learn languages from around the world. We tested it with a group of 12 people, and that's when it failed. I mean, it's not a failure, but it can't detect every person.
