## Deepgram Reviews
  ### 1. API: Good Product, Good Documentation, Great Support.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leif B. | Senior Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

The Deepgram API covers the languages we need (and then some), integrates easily with our audio source, is accurate enough, and delivers results quickly. The documentation made it easy to design our code, and the very helpful support engineers were quick to respond to questions and to help us debug our initial efforts.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

The language coverage is good, but there are a few languages we'd like to see in the future. We're not ready, ourselves, to take advantage of it, but it would be pleasant to know we won't be running ahead of the support the tool gives us should we happen to make faster progress than we expect. Along the same lines, the models available for each language are more constrained than we'd prefer, although we're only beginning to implement in languages where it's a concern.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Deepgram as our primary transcription engine, converting a Twilio phone call audio stream into a text stream in real time and analyzing the results. To make this important product for our company, we need a transcription engine, and developing one in-house is prohibitively expensive. Of the available engines, we chose Deepgram because it was very good at transcribing our phone calls and integrated easily into our chosen Java back-end environment. As an added benefit, Deepgram was willing to create a custom model for us. Deepgram would have been the best choice for us, even if it wasn't cheaper than the closest alternatives.

  ### 2. Powerful, accurate, scaleable and blindingly fast!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Conner N. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

Our EdTech platform has tens of thousands of users, when we were using our previous transcription engine (on AWS) scalability was becoming a common issue for us. With Deepgram using the power of GPU's instead of CPU's, this immediately removed our transcription delays as we can scale when needed, and my god, it's fast. We've since been able to process a high number of transcription requests simultaneously, and completing an hour's worth of audio in under 10 seconds is incredible.

I've also got to mention its labeling and learning; this allows us to develop and increase our accuracy over time. Deepgram offer subject matter experts as a service which is great, but we're building it in a way that allows the consumer to make any edits to then feedback in to Deepgram

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

So far, we haven't seen a single downside to moving to Deepgram. The functional benefits came to light immediately after swapping and one week of beta testing. One suggestion that I'd have (and this doesn't stop us from using Deepgram) would be to have an assigned Account Manager to speak with, but I should mention that they have an online chat which is also acceptable for us.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In EdTech, transcription is almost seen as a must-have for SaaS providers. The speed and accuracy is vital to any players in the market. What we had noticed when using previous transcription providers was the considerable delay in receiving the complete transcription, which would quite often lead to our users thinking it's 'broken'. In using Deepgram we've been able to supercharge our transcription overnight.

  ### 3. Very easy to start using and good results. Hard to find actual cost for using in bulk speech to text

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sebastian P. | Machine Learning Engineer - Data Scientist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

Very Good and easy interface. Many different ways to access the tool. Good performance. Better than Vosk and similar to Google. We use mainly use Python as an interface.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

Couldnt easily find the price for the tool. If I saw quickly it could be cheaper than our current tool I would keep on trying. I would like models that can perform with music in the background

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We do speech-to-text to publicity spots videos in Spanish. We need high-quality text for doing afterward NLP projects. We are trying different tools finding a budget performance equilibrium

  ### 4. Great software and support.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

I like that it has a step by step guide, though it isn't the most obvious. There are lots of good features such as proportion of words and likelihood of words and the api is intuitive enough to get started quickly.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

It wasn't easy to find everything it had to offer eg other languages, though they are also in somewhat of a beta state. The documentation is a little confusing, it is better to direct uses to somewhere with the core features first.

**Recommendations to others considering Deepgram:**

Try it out if you want to use real-time text to speech transcriptions

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was trying to caption peoples speech into code/maths, and it was good at capturing the words we wanted with different likelihoods. Deppgram helped us do that very simply.

  ### 5. Deepgram Reivew

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Filip G. | UI Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2022

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

I like how simple it is to use, how much flexibility it offers with speech recognition, and most importantly, how accurate the whole system is. I have to say it's the best speech-to-text I have ever used.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

Some improvements could be made as per the first initial steps, something to guide a user through the initial setup that's more visual and clear with step by step guidance.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm trying to write a system to allow users to create websites purely using their voice. It's supposed to focus on accessibility for some who may struggle with typing keys.

  ### 6. Deepgram makes it easier than typing up notes manually, but you need to do a lot of editing.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Professional Training & Coaching | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

The fact I can import audio from the API, and that you can also have this done online.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

Deepgram makes too many mistakes, and if there are a lot of voices, it cannot distinguish between them. The AI mislabels the speaker as the wrong person.

**Recommendations to others considering Deepgram:**

Don't expect miracles, AI currently cannot replace humans so you will need to edit your results.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I recorded a lot of Zoom meetings during lockdown and wanted to extract the useful information from the filler quickly and Deepgram helped me do that.

  ### 7. Widely configurable and flexible

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2022

Deepgram's ability to provide fast, accurate transcripts allows our business to further provide key business insights across the enterprise, while also ensuring no sensitive data is left behind for leakage.

  ### 11. Very fast and Polaris is amazing. French could be a bit better

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Federico M. | Full Stack Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

Speed and very easy to implement the node sdk

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

Accuracy in non English languages like french

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Transcribed audio to text so we can make emotional analysis

  ### 12. Appreciate the fine grained control for real time recognition

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

Real time recognition returns final results quickly with punctuation and speaker labels. I can fine tune pause detection and supply keywords to boost on the fly.

I've used this with spf.io to caption and translate live events. Compared to other speech recognition engines, Deepgram gives more fine grained control over when I get finalized results and is simpler to get started with--I just supply my API key and it works!

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

I had an initially poor support experience where the real time recognition was not responding with results nor sending any error messages. I contacted support and it took a few days to hear back, so I had to use a different engine for my customers at the time. Later the head of product reached out to me and I was able to give feedback and since then have had much more responsive support.

The vocabulary is not as rich as other engines. Although there are ways to build custom language models, it would be nice if the base model already had a richer vocabulary for the English language.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My product spf.io is used by customers to make their events accessible in many languages. Deepgram's real time recognition has enabled us to rely on fully automatic transcription in more situations because of the way it returns finalized transcription results with punctuation quickly with reasonable accuracy.

  ### 13. excellent service - best price and highest quality transcription service.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Todd f. | CEO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

Deepgram has the highest quality transcriptions.  Additionally, they have the best pricing.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

With the release of their new console. they're the best transcription service.

**Recommendations to others considering Deepgram:**

We used IBM Watson, Google, AWS, Azure and other transcription providers.  Deepgram out does all of them by far.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're able to use Deepgram to provide high-quality call analysis in real time to customers.

  ### 24. Responsive company with a quality product

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

Their on-prem deployment strategy makes my life so much easier than previous ASR products we've self-hosted. Docker images that easily run in the cloud are such a great way to deploy and maintain software. They also make their infrastructure easy to monitor and publish stats to CloudWatch (with minimal configuration).

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

Since this is a relatively new company, it sometimes felt like we tested things for them. There were some transcription discrepancies when switching from our old ASR provider to Deepgram, but they helped us figure those out. These types of nuances between ASR providers are to be expected with any significant switch of ASR systems.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our company transcribes data for numerous industries for ingestion into our analytics platform. This data allows us to build a SaaS product that enables our customers to understand what customers are saying about their products and services.

Deepgram's accuracy is hands-down the best aspect of their service. When using Deepgram we saw over 93% accuracy, and it's only getting better. Deepgram also has an amazing team and support staff.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

Deepgram is building out more robust compliance standards, which will continue to be needed as they expand into new markets such as finance, healthcare, and SLED.

**Recommendations to others considering Deepgram:**

Ask for the Demo. The Deepgram staff is amazing.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our business relies on accurate transcription to work effectively. Our company does physiographic profiling of users based on things like emails, texts, etc. Our analysis is only as good as the transcript.

  ### 26. Product has evolve so much in terms of quality of transcript and feature set

Transcription. PCM encoded 16 bit audio are supported in cheaper cost.

  ### 30. Deepgram is much faster that any other API I’ve tried

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Haris R. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2022

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

The speed and the cost. I also like the free credits I got to test the service.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

I think the text output and speaker labeling could be more correct. AWS is currently better at this.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helping transcribers to provide summarized meeting minutes faster

  ### 31. Affordable, Accurate Call transcription

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris B. | Chief Software Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2021

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

The integration with our platform was very straightforward.  We were able to add Deepgram as an additional transctipion engine in a couple of days, and compare results to other vendors.  The results were comparable, and the price is significantly better than others in the market.  Results also come back from the cloud service very quickly.  There is also a lot of flexibility with the ability to run onprem or in the cloud, and the cost offset for onprem compute is appreciated.

**What do you dislike about Deepgram?**

The diarization feature is still not as mature as it could be.  It hit maybe 70% accuracy in identifying speakers, although this is comparable to other solutions that we've evaluated.

**Recommendations to others considering Deepgram:**

They are very amenable to a trial setup, and integration was straightforward, so the barrier to entry is low.  Their feature set is limited to transcription at the moment, but they say an expanded feature list including things like sentiment analysis is coming soon.  If speech to text is the primary use case though, Deepgram seems like an innovative and capable vendor.

**What problems is Deepgram solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using deepgram for contact center call transcription at scale.  The transcript quality is on par with other providers, but the speed and cost are both greatly improved.

  ### 32. Speech recognition

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emin H. | Consultant, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2021

**What do you like best about Deepgram?**

**Reviewed by:** Nijat M. | General Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

The software works precisely that what the system records is pretty accurate that led to having the high quality work.

Call Center Quality Monitoring at Scale using Speech Analytics.  We use Deepgram as our Speech-to-Text Engine in several ways.

One way is to enable Call Criteria to handle large contact center volume and use AI to identify the calls that our predictive engine has analyzed as having a potential violation.  Then, we use our human quality control analysts to get a much deeper, more thorough picture of the recording to accurate pinpoint and timestamp what happened and where.  

More often than not, there are also a lot of false positives and false negatives surrounding speech analytics.  We use humans to accuracy check these so we're eliminating these false negatives/positives altogether.  Who would want dirty data?  Why settle for data that may have that kind of falsities?  How can you apply anything programatic to something that isn't accurate?  That's why we use humans to verify if the speech analytics flags were accurate or not.
