Can fix errors in the transcript but needs better instructions on adjustments when used for accessibility
There's such a huge hole that's missing for people with disabilities, for example, for people who just cannot see or cannot hear at all. They're not just cognitively impaired. I would love to see Amazon Transcribe have its own section or its own page about how to make adjustments if you're using it for accessibility. It would be great to have closed captions that are in real-time.

Easy to understand, configure, and use
I would recommend it. IBM has several other solutions that can connect to it, so no need to buy different pieces from several providers. If you want to find a good solution for the customer and put some translation tool or machine learning for text understanding and so on, you can get this from IBM. It can be a one-stop shop for a good solution. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. It has good quality, and it's easy to work with.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Amazon Transcribe helps me not to fall behind in a meeting and not know what's going on. Even if I do, I have the transcript at the end to help me figure out what was said during the meeting."
"We don't run into any issues with bugs or glitches."
"It was easy to understand, easy to configure, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"I would love to see Amazon Transcribe have its own section or its own page about how to make adjustments if you're using it for accessibility."
"The UX and UI could be improved on the AWS console."
"The quality needs to be updated. For speech to text, support for additional languages can be included. For example, support for the large markets in Eastern Europe, such as Polish or Romanian, would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price on the standard is better for Amazon Transcribe than it is for Amazon Polly."
