Speech to text options

There are three options for speech to text APIs that you can use with this system.

Check them out individually for extra setup instruction.

Unfortunately Speechmatics is no longer an option as they discontinuing their web portal (meaning the access to STT with API key will no longer be supported) from 30th of Sept 2020. See their deprecation notice for more details.

Mozilla Deepspeech

Pros:

  • Free as in free speech as well as in free beer.

  • Working locally on your machine. No internet connection needed because of that, good for sensitive material.

Cons:

  • Not as accurate as commercial STT but still pretty good (in my opinion, but decide for yourself).
