Unlike Amazon Transcribe, DSR isn’t only expensive but also fails to protect sensitive PII data.

With Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition, I don't have to be online to make it effective, where VoiceTyper requires you to be connected. Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is a more comprehensive program for punctuation and commands.

Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is far behind all of the built-in and free speech AI assistants--this includes Cortana, Google Assistant, Alexa, and Siri. The other AIs automatically do many things that Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition does not (e.g., commas, periods, and …

Nuance Dragon uses recognition models based on the analysis of thousands of voice and text samples when users set and train their user profile. The created user profiles are then modified based on their sound (acoustic model) as well as the words and expressions used …

Apple dictation is free and already integrated into the OS. It works very fast, and accuracy can be improved over time, depending on what OS version you have.

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.

Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is well-suited for any document creation need. Not as great on forms, because there must be time for one to process one's thoughts, but still pretty good. Memory issues seem to make the program delay transcribing words to an unacceptable extent. I'm sure artificial intelligence will change the program substantially.

  • Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is not up to par with any of the other AI voice recognition technologies currently available
  • The software is also very buggy and crashes frequently
  • Punctuation also seems like an afterthought for Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition software--requiring the user to speak out each comma, period, etc.

One of the worst companies in terms of customer service getting the download file because of a laptop upgrade took me months of work. No jokes.

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.
