Performance of Speech-to-Text Across Market Features
Speech-to-Text Likes & Dislikes
1. Real-time speech recognition. Speech is transcribed almost instantly, enabling fast note-taking and live dictation without noticeable delays. 2. High transcription accuracy. Google's AI delivers strong accuracy for clear speech, making it reliable for everyday dictation and professional use. 3. Multi-language Support. Supports a wide range of languages and can detect or switch languages during use.
I like how responsive it is when I first activate it. The speed at which it writes also is very quick. It's fairly easy to use as well.
First, which is I think the most obvious one, it does help you in times when you can't use your hands too much, it still gives you the opportunity to use your device as normal as it can possibly be. Second, since it is from Google, it is integrated in many of their other products, especially Google Docs and Google Meet which is a really good addition for transcription purposes. Lastly, it's transcription of the words you say is almost instant, which again is good for transcribing purposes.
1. Support limitations: Direct, personalized customer support is limited, with most assistance relying on documentation and community resources. 2. Dependence on Internet Connectivity. Accuracy and functionality are significantly better when online; offline capabilities are limited. 3. Speaker Identification Limitations: The solution does not consistently distinguish between multiple speakers in conversation, limiting its usefulness for meetings or interviews.
There are usually multiple times it puts a word I didn't say. Trying to start over can be a pain. Not really great options to edit, feel like I just need to start over.
I think the most obvious one is that there is still a bias when it comes to people who have accents; sometimes like I said, people with accents have to exaggerate a bit more so that the speech-to-text can pick up on the words they're saying. Also, I think sometimes instead of it being a time saver sometimes it can be more of a hassle to use due to its errors so sometimes you would have to manually change the words that it picked up wrong. Google's speech-to-text is internet dependent and doesn't work without a connection, which is sometimes an issue.

Accuracy High For Clear Speech But Struggles With Accents And Noise Areas
With the app what has worked well: 1. High accuracy for clear speech. The app performs very well when speech is clear and at a normal pace, especially for standard accents and commonly used phrases. 2. Real-time transcription. Speech is converted to text almost instantly, which makes it efficient for note taking, messaging and quick documentation. 3. Strong language support. Google's speech-to-text supports multiple languages and can switch between them fairly smoothly. 4. Easy Integration. It works seamlessly across Google products (Docs, Search, Android keyboard) making it convenient and accessible without additional set up. 5. Punctuation and formatting improvements. Automatic punctuation has improved over time and generally produces readable, well structured text. What has not worked well: 1. Struggles with accents and background noise. Accuracy decreases noticeably with strong accents, overlapping speech, or noise environment. 2. Limited customization. Users have little to no control over vocabulary training, custom terms, or industry specific language. 3. Inconsistent punctuation accuracy. While improved, punctuation can still be incorrect or missing, requiring manual edits. 4. Speaker differentiation issues. It does not reliably distinguish between multiple speakers in conversations. - CUSTOMER SERVICE & SUPPORT ASSOCIATE50M-1B USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
Hands-Free Device Control Enabled, Yet Accent Bias Impacts Speech Recognition Accuracy
It does work well as it picks up the majority of the words I say, however sometimes I would have to exaggerate the words I say in order for the speech-to-text to get it right. - Sales Manager50M-1B USDFinance (non-banking)Review Source
Consistent Accuracy and Broad Language Support in Speech-to-Text Applications Noted
Speech-to-Text has been excellent. It consistently delivers accurate transcriptions across a wide range of audio types, supports many languages, and integrates smoothly with other tools and workflows. For anything from meeting recordings to automated voice processing, it’s been reliable and powerful. - Senior Language Advisor50M-1B USDSoftwareReview Source
Google STT Delivers Strong Speech Recognition in Noisy Environments With Many Languages
I consider Google STT to be the heavyweight champion of transcription, and to be honest, it's the go-to choice for anyone that needs massive scale, security and global language support as it supports over 120 languages and variants. - CUSTOMER SERVICE & SUPPORT ASSOCIATE<50M USDTravel and HospitalityReview Source
Editing Limitations and Inaccurate Transcriptions Impact Overall Product Experience
Sometimes it works really well, but most of the time it doesn't do a great job of transcribing what I want to say. Ideally, it could be something where I could hands free talk and have it write what i said accurately, but a lot of times there are a lot of texts that have mistakes.
