Start NowReal-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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cheetah Streaming Speech-to-Text currently supports English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
