"Fast, Accurate, and Natural Voice Quality"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

I appreciate how fast Deepgram is when using it for real-time production applications, as even small delays can make a big difference. Deepgram's speed makes the end-user experience very good. The accuracy is another aspect I find impressive since it really matters a lot. I've tried other solutions, but they didn't provide the perfect accuracy I get with Deepgram. When making calls, the voice agent sounds clear and natural, which improves the overall experience. The response time is much faster, and conversations feel smoother and more interactive. The voice quality is very important to me, and Deepgram makes sure there are no breakouts, avoiding any irritation. During live calls, it talks like a person with interactive and engaging responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

It would be great if we can increase capacity of it, because for less number it works fantastic but when we increase the number voice quality gets breaks. It would be better if we can make 8 to 10 number of calls at a time, if we increase the number, voice gets break 4 to 5. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Accurate Speech Recognition with a Developer-Friendly API"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

Deepgram provides very accurate and fast speech-to-text transcription, even for long audio recordings and real-time streams. The API is easy to integrate into applications, and the documentation is clear and developer-friendly. I especially like the low latency for real-time voice recognition and the ability to handle different accents and noisy environments. It has been reliable and scalable for production use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

While Deepgram performs very well overall, the pricing can become expensive when processing large volumes of audio. Some advanced configuration options and features also require deeper documentation to fully understand. Occasionally, accuracy can drop slightly with heavy background noise or highly specialized vocabulary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Blazing-Fast Real-Time Transcription with Nova-2"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

The speed is the standout feature. I'm using Nova-2 with dual WebSocket streams (mic + tab audio simultaneously) for a real-time voice coaching Chrome extension, and interim results come back fast enough to display a genuinely live rolling transcript. Word-level confidence scores, smart_format, vad_events, and utterance_end_ms all work exactly as documented and saved me a lot of custom logic. The $200 starter credit is also a great touch - it gave me real runway to prototype and validate the product before committing to a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

Nothing major so far. The documentation could occasionally go deeper on edge cases around dual-stream WebSocket setups and silence/KeepAlive behavior, which required some trial and error to get right. But overall these are minor friction points in an otherwise smooth experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome Speech-to-Text Accuracy and Punctuation"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

The speech-to-text accuracy and punctuation are awesome compared with GCP and Azure STT. Pricing is also better than other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

Sometimes Nova 2 performs better than Nova 3, and Nova 3 still doesn’t support keywords. Also, the multi-language detection isn’t very accurate when you compare results across multiple streams. In my DilMesh app, I create a separate stream for each language that might be spoken. At our events we generally use Turkish and English, so the app creates two streams—one for Turkish and one for English—and then selects the final results based on the confidence response. Multi stream method works terrific when you compared with built-in multi language detection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Deepgram’s Trial Credits Make Trying STT Easy Before You Buy"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

The best thing about Deepgram is that it lets users try the platform’s STT and other modules first using trial credits, which helps them get a fair understanding of the product before deciding to buy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

So far, I haven’t figured out any issues that I would say I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Real-Time Transcription: Fast, Accurate, and Easy to Integrate"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

Real-time transcription speed and accuracy is exceptional. I integrated Deepgram into my Windows app StreamVox for live audio translation, and the API was straightforward to set up. The documentation is clear, WebSocket streaming works reliably, and latency is low enough for real-time subtitle overlays. The Nova model handles different accents well even with background noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

The dashboard could use more detailed usage analytics and graphs. It would be helpful to see per-request breakdown and latency stats in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressive Speech-to-Text Accuracy for Medical/Healthcare Use Cases"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

We evaluated Deepgram for our medical education platform (PassBoards.ai (http://passboards.ai/)) and were impressed by the transcription accuracy with medical terminology — ophthalmology terms, drug names, anatomical structures. The API is clean and well-documented, latency is low, and their team (shoutout to Danny Kim) was responsive and genuinely helpful during our evaluation. For healthcare/medical applications where accuracy on specialized vocabulary matters, Deepgram stood out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

Pricing can be hard to forecast when you're scaling a startup. Would love to see more transparent volume-based tiers for small teams. Otherwise, no major complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Deepgram's Exceptional Transcription at a Great Price"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

I like that the API is great, which has helped in building AI solutions and voice agents. The pricing is reasonable, and I appreciate the credits offered to get startups going. Deepgram has always been on the leading edge of transcription, which is crucial for me. I love the Flux tool; it's worked really well and has been game-changing in reliably detecting when people are done speaking. I like how stable Deepgram is, and it offers high-quality transcription at a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

I honestly have no complaints. I find the Deepgram API to be the easiest of the major vendors and it has been super stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Accurate, and Seamless Speech-to-Text"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

I have used Deepgram for my Voice Agent software's Speech-To-Text (STT) and I like that it helps solve critical challenges like real-time speech-to-text processing even in noisy areas, and reduces latency for our application. What I really like about Deepgram is that it's fast, accurate, and offers low latency and real-time transcription, which makes it easy for developers to implement. The low latency is particularly beneficial for processing speech in real time, making AI conversations feel natural. The speed and low latency ensure smooth conversations between humans and agents, catching voices quickly and processing them efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward and quick, with very clear documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

Overall working with Deepgram has been great. It should have little improvised where multiple voices or most noisy area, where it will catch the voice the nearest one for better streaming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth and Low Latency Voice Solutions"
What do you like best about Deepgram?

I use Deepgram for my voice-agent project and really appreciate its low latency streaming and reliable transcripts for speech-to-text (STT). This is especially helpful for real-time voice calls, making the experience feel smooth and natural. I also find it very easy to set up, which is a big plus. Compared to other platforms like Elvenlabs, Deepgram is not only less costly but also provides better performance with less latency. These aspects of Deepgram are invaluable when smoothness in real-time calls is the top priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

I think all things are very excellent but in the multi language support it is not supporting all the languages. I recently tried multi language option `language="multi"` in Deepgram Speech to text service and called an Indonesian customer but when the customer tried to talk in Indonesian language then it is not detecting. So I think it should be improved, rest all the features are very amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
