"Speech-to-Text easily scriptable from Python provided that audio quality is good"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Google Cloud Speech-to-Text?

It has lots of language options, including variations of Spanish like Chilean, Argentinean and others. As most of these kind of programs, it works better with English, but with Spanish made a good job. the output needs lot of corrections, but in any case is less work than doing it from scratch.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Speech-to-Text?

The main problem I found was looking for the right sample rate in hertz for best audio interpretation, this kind of parameter makes it hard to use for casual users, who just want to drop their MP3 and get the text. Here you have to convert to a compatible format and enter the sample right. Once you nail this, it is not hard to get good results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Speech-to-Text solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used Google Cloud Speech-to-Text to get the text of interviews some researchers made and then we used the text (after correction) for a research on the relationship between drug usage and how it affect language and speech patterns. It saved lot of time on transcription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
