Ariel Lindenfeld - PeerSpot reviewer
Excellent quality, great speech-to-text recognition, and responsive support
Two things come to mind for improvement. Maybe they have fixed these, or maybe there is something new, and we haven't implemented it yet. One improvement could be dual-channel audio. We've had issues in the past where it generates the transcript, and a lot of the text is duplicated. I understand why it would happen. It's an audio file with more than one channel of the same speaker, which is what may cause the duplicated text. That said, it would be great either to have a way for Deepgram to realize that it's basically the same audio on two channels and only transcribe one of them or at least give us a warning that it's happening. We've found workarounds, however, a better solution from Deepgram's side would be great. The other issue comes up when some changes are made on their end, and we want to test them. We've had one to two instances where they tell us that we have access, and we try to test something out, and it turns out we don't. When that happens, then they have to fix something on their end. It's not a big deal. We have a Slack channel with them where we can quickly touch base. We let them know, and they will get back to us and fix the access. It's not something we're doing very often.

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.
