## Reviews

### "Human transcribing is such a painful process." — 5.0/5

> **Ahmet Fatih** | *17 January 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I remember back 5 years earlier when I transcribed almost 10k minutes of recorded speech for weeks. Google cloud services made it much easier now and it made it possible to transcribe in hundreds of languages and accents. This is why we need artificial intelligence.
> 
> **Cons**: Well, you get 60 minutes of free credits and some money in your account. For research purposes we need longer periods of time so free trial may not get you where you want to go other than amaze you how smart this AI is.
> 
> Great time saving AI which is sure to take transcribers job from their hands.

> **Neleh** | *21 December 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how all I have to do is press on the microphone smybol on the keyboard and wait for it to say speak now, and then I can say exactly what I am wanting to say in a text to my husband or to my mother in law and the speech to text actually types what I say into text which makes texting a million times easier especially whenever I am busy with my children.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing that I don't like about the Google speech to text.

The platform performs automatic speech recognition by processing audio input through machine learning algorithms, delivering accurate transcriptions across a range of industry use cases. It serves contact center operations, media and entertainment providers, healthcare institutions, educational platforms, legal services, and accessibility applications with solutions for capturing customer interactions, generating documentation, producing subtitles, and ensuring compliance.\n\nThe platform provides multiple processing modes and configuration options. Organizations may choose real-time streaming transcription for live audio, synchronous processing for immediate results, or asynchronous batch processing for pre-recorded audio. The service supports more than one hundred twenty-five languages and variants and detects multiple languages within a single audio stream. Speaker diarization distinguishes between multiple speakers and assigns transcribed text accordingly. Word-level confidence scores indicate transcription accuracy for each term, and automatic punctuation and formatting enhance readability. Custom speech model training adapts recognition engines to specific vocabulary, industry terminology, product names, acronyms, or regional accents. Domain-specific pre-trained models address particular industries and audio types, including a phone call model optimized for telephony audio characteristics. Additional capabilities include profanity filtering, noise handling for low-quality audio, multi-channel recognition for separate audio channels, and time-stamped transcriptions with temporal offsets.\n\nIntegration with applications and workflows is supported via REST and gRPC APIs. The service accepts a range of audio file formats such as FLAC, WAV, and MP3. Deployment options include cloud-hosted configurations and edge deployments to meet low-latency requirements in distributed environments. Seamless integration with other Google Cloud services, including BigQuery for data analysis and AutoML for model development, enables end-to-end data processing pipelines. Data encryption is applied during transit and at rest, and the service holds compliance certifications for GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO/IEC two seven zero zero one standards. Data privacy controls prevent storage or use of user data for model training without explicit consent.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/761c6cfc-2508-49a2-970f-1af99123c290.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2058741/google-cloud-speech-to-text","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2058741/google-cloud-speech-to-text#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":5.0,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":3},"offers":{"price":"0.02","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2058741/google-cloud-speech-to-text#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Medical Transcription Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/823/medical-transcription/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Speech-to-Text","position":3,"item":"/software/2058741/google-cloud-speech-to-text","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
