Can fix errors in the transcript but needs better instructions on adjustments when used for accessibility
I am looking at different solutions for accessibility Amazon Transcribe helps me not to fall behind in a meeting and not know what's going on. Also, I have the transcript at the end to help me figure out what was said during the meeting. I definitely like the ability to fix the things that are…

Easy to learn but needs to improve in the area of the multi-language support offered
Speaking about the tool's multi-language support, I can say that Google supports more languages than any other cloud provider. I have not experienced any difficulties or challenges integrating Google Cloud Speech-to-Text into our company's workflow. I would suggest others choose the model correctly. For example, you must use a telephony model whenever it is a phone call or something that has been recorded. You can just go to the console and create it first, and then you'll have the entire code on the right side so that you can directly use it in your workflow. The tool is easy to learn. Considering that the tool is not accurate when it comes to native language, especially if you are going for some regional languages in India where there are more than 100 languages, I feel that the tool doesn't support regional languages, but it supports the most widely spoken languages, so only certain areas are accurate. If the call has been placed on hold, there are some deviations. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
