User Testimonials
	Amazon Transcribe	Google Cloud Speech-to-Text
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon Transcribe can be an excellent tool for businesses where being able to convert speech or audio to text, in a searchable and reportable form, would be useful. For a call center (inbound or outbound), the ability to have a rich transcription of each call (and being able to search it for keywords) is an incredibly valuable benefit. For business meetings, being able to turn a 60 or 90-minute call into a readable transcript to search or refresh yourself or others is a very large time saver which will help you work more efficiently. The software does offer many deeper integrations, such as being able to track script usage (for call centers) or interruptions, deviations, etc.. which would be very valuable to a management team and for training purposes.

Pros	Content discovery advancements through audio and video contents conversions to texts. Creating notes for meetings has been at ease with this solution.

Incentivized Josphine Hammond Senior Database Administrator Read full review	An amazing tool which helps a lot in a meetings. It's an efficient tool for improving efficiency by saving a lot of time typing. It saves at least 40-50% of our time, thus increasing efficiency. Incredible accuracy with multiple accents & multiple language. It takes punctuation into consideration. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	There is a small learning curve to begin using ALL of the features the software offers. Additional tech support may be required for some integrations, so it's worth looking into if planning to use all of the features they offer. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The software does occasionally get confused by confusing terminology. Its web-based interface can also feel a tad hard to use compared to more appealing desktop apps. I've experienced the occasional technical issue, though the provider's support team is quick to troubleshoot. Loana Alonso Nava Business Analyst Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The reasoning behind my 10 is that the UI is very intuitive; I didn't require any formal training to use it. Google's speech-to-text is not just a conversion tool; it helps automate mundane tasks, saves time, and has an almost human-like understanding. Incentivized Vaibhav Singh Sr. Analyst Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I use Google Cloud Speech to Text and Amazon Transcribe. What makes Amazon Transcribe better for me is the accuracy of the audio-to-text conversion. I have found out that Amazone Transcribe is better at handling homophones, contractions, abbreviations, and acronyms. Another feature that makes Amazon Transcribe my No. 1 choice is its use of punctuation marks. I can also feed my own list of vocabulary into Amazon Transcribe to help me acquire better results. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It delivered high accuracy in accented and noisy environments. Regarding its language support, it offers a variety of languages and dialects.
