"Reliable Delivery and API That Fits My AI Pipeline"
4/5
What do you like best about Deepgram?

reliable about the promise and delivery, and has API so I can connect to my AI pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

When I upload previously recorded audio to transcribe, it goes really badly. I get a wait/exit pop-up every time, and I couldn’t finish my work. I also don’t know whether it burned tokens or not. Anyway.

Also, when I try to switch the transcription result to JSON, it bugs everything out as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Reliable, Fundamental Part of Our Speech Pipeline"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Deepgram?

Ease of integration and UI/UX flow and feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

There isn't much to complain about, but a couple of areas could be improved. The documentation could use more real-world examples for less common use cases, and it would be great to see more granular usage/cost breakdowns in the dashboard for larger projects. Occasionally we've run into minor accuracy dips with heavily accented or noisy audio, though overall performance is strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Coleman of Deepgram

Thank you for the thoughtful review, and it means a lot that Deepgram has become a fundamental part of your project. It's especially exciting to hear that you've improved your transcription accuracy and have even saved engineering hours. I'm passing along your feedback to both to our docs and product teams.

"Deepgram STT is so accurate and performance is so good"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Deepgram?

We are using Deepgram for real-time speech-to-text in our AI applications, and it has been fast and reliable. The transcription quality is good, the streaming API works well, and integration was straightforward. It also supports different audio formats and multiple languages, which makes it suitable for different use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

I would like to see more examples pertaining to building Voice agents so easily and also introducing agentic coding to build with their APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Coleman of Deepgram

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad the streaming API and integration have been fast and reliable for what you're building in edtech, and that the multi-language support fits your use case. I'm passing along your request for more voice agent examples and guidance for building with our APIs to our docs team. Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

"Fantastic API, good results"
5/5
What do you like best about Deepgram?

The pricing of similar APIS like grok voice have become more competitive. While Deepgram is hardly a significant cost for us so we will be staying as we LOVE the DX and speed of their API. The new skills are also very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

It would be nice to see some stats on keywords/keyterms that were used. It could get smarter over time based on our past inputs of technical words and corrections Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Coleman of Deepgram

Thank you so much for the kind words, and it's great to hear the developer experience and speed are what keep you building on us for your podcast transcription. Glad the newer skills are landing well too. Thanks again for taking the time to share this.

"Flexible Offerings, Easy API Integration, and Strong AI Value"
4/5
What do you like best about Deepgram?

The flexibility of the staff and the offerings. The API integration for several features is easy to implement across various codebases, and the AI is on the better end of the spectrum while keeping costs low allowing a better ROI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

The UI is a little difficult to use - especially if you're trying to embed their AI service into your own application instead of using their AI Agentic experience. The support is great - as long as you can figure out how to get to them. Finding how to connect to the correct person for assistance is rather difficult and not obvious in the UI.

"Highly Accurate, Easy to Use but Needs Better Name Transcription"
5/5
What do you like best about Deepgram?

I appreciate Deepgram for its high percentage operation on the transcript. It gives me more accurate transcription, which my users enjoy, and it helps me have more accurate questions and follow-up questions. The accuracy of Deepgram is above 90% or even above 95%, which is a significant improvement over the Google speech to text service I used before, which was around 80%. The initial setup was super easy, which made adopting it a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

I find the transcription of individual names inaccurate. I think it would be amazing if Deepgram could improve this accuracy and identify names instead of using generic labels like speaker one or speaker two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Coleman of Deepgram

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We're glad the accuracy has been such a step up for you and that setup was easy. Keyterm Prompting on Nova-3 can boost recognition of specific names and terms, which could help sharpen those. I'm also passing along your feedback to our product team. We appreciate your taking the time to share it!

"Accurate Transcriptions with Easy Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Deepgram?

I use Deepgram to turn speech into text, which helps me quickly understand and read what people say in meetings, calls, and videos. It saves me time because I don't have to write notes or listen to recordings again. I like that it quickly and accurately turns speech into text and works well with different voices and accents. Its accuracy and ability to handle different voices and accents really helped when I was processing multi-speaker meetings and recorded calls from global events, even with background noise or speakers with strong accents. Setting up Deepgram was straightforward. The API is well-documented, authentication was simple, and I was able to start transcribing audio in just a few hours without any complex configuration. I also integrate Deepgram with tools like Slack and custom apps using their API. Our team switched to Deepgram from another transcription service because we needed accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepgram?

It works really well overall, but it can sometimes struggle when the audio is very noisy or when multiple people are speaking over each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Accurate, and Natural Voice Quality"
4.5/5
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"
5/5
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"
5/5
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.
