The API is availbale for the most platforms which is nice. The support is good and answers to issues quickly. The service does a good job, but of course it's not perfect. so don't expect a perfect conversion of every word. **What do you dislike about Google Cloud Speech-to-Text?** There are various limitations, especially if you are not using Googles cloud storage. So you will not be able to send a 30 minutes track at once to the service. So you will have to split the file into chunks to overcome the limitations. I would recommend extracting the audiio track form your videos and send them as a FLAC audio file to the service, this also saves money, since there are differnt charges for video and audio. **Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Speech-to-Text:** You get a free amount of minutes, so it's free to just try it. **What problems is Google Cloud Speech-to-Text solving and how is that benefiting you?** We implemented a Speech2Text solution for one of our customers usings the API.
