Youtube subtitling has the edge sometimes, but Youtube is also a real palaver to use - you have to make a video to start with and download as .srt file. Speechmatics just does it all for you and spits out a pdf. > > **Cons**: I'd prefer a Word doc for output because I can't edit the PDF\! It also doesn;t tell you when the transcription is completed, you have to manually refresh the page. > > Speed, accuracy, saves me hours and hours of time doing audio transcription by hand and ear. ----- ### "Speech to text is almost magic" — 4.0/5 > **Volker** | *13 December 2018* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works pretty fast and has solved some pretty amazing tasks. > > **Cons**: It's not exactly criticism... Even though Speechmatics is deemed by many to be the best Speech-to-Text algorithm, even better than IBM's Watson, it still won't be 100% accurate. Background noises or mumbling speakers still make the tool fail and human interference is necessary. > > Audio files are being transcribed to text ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/222541/speechmatics) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
