What is Google Cloud Speech-to-Text?

Google Cloud Speech-to-Text is a cloud-based speech to text transcription tool that uses Google's AI-technology-powered API. With Cloud Speech-to-Text, users can transcribe their content with accurate captions, provide an enhanced customer experience through voice commands, and gain customer interaction insights. The Cloud Speech-to-Text API allows users to customize speech recognition to allow transcribing domain-specific terms and uncommon words through hints. The application can convert spoken numbers into specific addresses, currencies, years, and more. Users can choose from a list of trained models: video, phone call, command, and search, or default. The speech-to-text API uses a machine learning that is trained to recognize specific audio files from a particular source, thereby improving transcription results. Google Speech-to-text can process audio directly streamed from the user’s microphone or from a pre-recorded audio file, and give real-time transcription result. The Google Speech-to-Text API supports over 80 languages.
