Why Cheetah Streaming Speech-to-Text?
Real-time transcription APIs send voice data to the vendor’s cloud, making them vulnerable to latency, congestion, outages, and throttling.
Cheetah Streaming Speech-to-Text processes voice data when and where received, resulting in a guaranteed real-time transcription experience without unpredictable delays.

What is a real-time transcription engine?
Real-time transcription, also known as real-time speech-to-text, streaming transcription, streaming speech-to-text, live transcription, or live speech-to-text, refers to the technology and tools that convert audio streams to text synchronously with audio generation.
How does on-device real-time transcription differ from cloud-based real-time transcription APIs?
Cloud-based real-time transcription APIs record and send voice data to vendor servers where the transcription engine resides to convert voice into text. On-device real-time transcription brings the transcription engine where voice data is, offering guaranteed real-time experience by eliminating unpredictable delays.
What are the benefits of on-device real-time transcription over cloud-based real-time transcription?
Cloud-based real-time transcription converts voice data into text with delay due to network latency and connectivity issues. On-device real-time transcription eliminates these inherent latency and reliability limitations by processing voice data on the device without sending it to a 3rd party cloud. For time-sensitive applications, such as agent assistance, medical dictation, or meeting transcription, delays affect the experience and productivity. A recent study on delays in virtual communication depicts internet lag as a wrench in mental gears.
Can I use Cheetah Streaming Speech-to-Text in the cloud?
Yes. You can run Cheetah Streaming Speech-to-Text in the cloud, whether private, public, or hybrid. Picovoice on-device voice recognition technology allows enterprises to decide where to run the transcription engine instead of making the Picovoice cloud mandatory for voice processing.
What are the key metrics for evaluating real-time transcription engines?
Key metrics for evaluating real-time transcription engines are latency, reliability & resiliency, accuracy, availability of features, the total cost of ownership, and data privacy and governance. Each metric may have different weights in different projects of the same company.
