Depends

Should I use Speechmatics?

Enterprise speech-to-text API for multilingual voice applications - speechmatics.com

· 2 days ago

Buy it if you are a developer embedding multilingual speech-to-text into a product or contact center at scale. Skip it if you just need meeting transcripts; a simple web transcription tool fits better.
