Hello! We are happy to release the speech recognition API service for developers. The SpeechText.AI API automatically transcribes speech to text and summarizes audio data with high accuracy in multiple languages. SpeechText.AI uses a combination of speech recognition and natural language processing models to auto-summarize your recordings and highlight key moments in discussion. The unique domain-specific speech recognition technology enables users to improve the accuracy of automatic transcription for industries such as finance, healthcare, legal, IT, HR, and others. The API can recognize multiple speakers and add word-by-word timestamps, punctuation, casing to transcription results. SpeechText.AI supports almost all common media file formats and can transcribe audio/video files stored on your hard drive or files accessible over public URLs (HTTP, FTP, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).

pricing seems deceiving and more complicated than originally alluded to.

> Accurate and multi-language speech recognition API at only 1.2¢ per minute

I was thinking “if I can post process my audio to remove silence (which certainly this product is disincentivized to do by itself), then I would like to record my daily life and have a full log.” seems cheap enough. but when you finish reading the whole page, you see there are additional payments and features you have to buy as part of a tier. it’s not actually what the quote at the top of the page claims.

bummer
