"Exceptional Technology, Unparalleled Partnership"
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

From the very beginning of our engagement, we've been consistently impressed by two core aspects of Speechmatics: their world-class technology and their unwavering commitment to partnership.

The performance of their speech-to-text service is simply outstanding. The combination of industry-leading accuracy, incredible speed and the 55+ language support has fundamentally improved the quality of our service. Furthermore, their robust security measures provide the peace of mind we need to handle sensitive data with confidence.

However, what truly distinguishes Speechmatics is their people and their collaborative approach. Our representative provides incredibly prompt and hands-on support, making us feel like they are a true extension of our own team. They go beyond a simple supplier relationship, acting as a genuine partner invested in our success.

This spirit is also reflected in their product development. They have a remarkable willingness to listen to customer needs and requests, and we've seen our feedback actively considered and integrated into their product roadmap. It is this commitment to co-creation and shared success that makes Speechmatics an invaluable partner for driving our business forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

Honestly, there is nothing significant to report. Any minor questions or issues we've encountered have been resolved immediately and effectively by their fantastic support team. Their service has consistently met and exceeded our expectations for our use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Anastasiou of Speechmatics

Thank you so much for this outstanding feedback. We’re truly delighted to hear how impactful Speechmatics has been for your product and your users.

"Easy integration, continuous improvement"
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

As a regional media monitoring firm with modest IT resources, we appreciate the relative ease of integrating Speechmatics into our broadcast monitoring workflow. Customer support is reliable and provides quick responses. The sales team have been amazing, too, helping us create a service plan that considers both our current business volume and supports our projected growth. And we like what we're seeing with regards to service enhancements and expansion. We hope to be able to take advantage of additional language capabilities soon.

"Super Accurate with Impressive Support, Perfect for US Healthcare Domain"
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

I appreciate Speechmatics' super accuracy, particularly in the medical domain, which is vital for US healthcare documentation. The product adapts based on the domain due to its advanced language model. The SDK offers great support for Node.js, making integration seamless with effective WebSocket and event management functionalities. I value the enhanced accuracy and flexible pricing that allows selecting models fitting different budgets. The ability to add custom pronunciations further boosts accuracy. Their support team played a significant role during the setup process, which was relatively straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

It can improve on latencies. Currently, it's around sub one second latencies, but they can improve it further to somewhere around four hundred milliseconds. Because I feel Speechmatics is losing the game of voice agent for call centers due to high latency issue. In that particular voice AI agent solutions, the market leader is Deepgram with low latency solutions. But, We trust speechmatics can beat it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tom Young of Speechmatics

Thanks for sharing your review! Great to hear how Speechmatics’ accuracy and support are making a real impact in US healthcare documentation, and your feedback on latency will surely help them improve further.

Our latencies can, in fact, be adjusted down to under 300ms - we hope this helps with your Voice AI Agent creation.

"Highly Accurate, Low-Latency Transcription You Can Rely On"
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

It delivers highly accurate transcription with very low latency, so the text appears quickly and stays reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

It didn't support multichannel audio for live streams, so I had to connect each channel separately. I would love to see them add voice cloning and dubbing features like the ones on ElevenLabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"easy API integration and quality transcripts"
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

I like it because we use it a the transcription layer to our research tool. It has several languages integrated to it so whenever a user uploads a lecture that has English and French, the system can easily recognize it. Our main usage is the speech to text and its perfect. Lastly, the ease of integration for the API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

Coming from Africa, we have diverse local languages and this are not recognized in speechmatics. That is one downside we have experienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Anastasiou of Speechmatics

Thanks for the great feedback, we're glad Speechmatics is powering your research platform with accurate multilingual transcription and easy API integration.

We appreciate the note on African language support. Expanding coverage here is a priority for us, and insights from platforms like yours help guide that work.

"Speechmatics has saved us so much time"
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

It has a very high yield on accuracy of transcriptions - much better than any other offering we have reviewed. It offers this yield for English and foreign language voice recordings. It is very easy to use via the browser portal. Production of transcripts are fast and accurate whilst also coping very well indeed with local dialects and accents/tone etc. It seems to also cope very well with voice recordings where background noise is a factor. Original implementation was easy and the support received from Speechmatics, although hardly needed, was excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

If the ability to transcribe the text onto selected document templates held by the end customer then this would be massively beneficial. If it could also do this by applying intelligence to determine what sections of the voice recording to transcribe where on the end customer document templates then this would be fantastic. The ability to fulfil both of those features via an API into the business system of choice (and hosted templates) would be highly desirable. It would trigger a further massive spike in the level of use of Speechmatics for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Anastasiou of Speechmatics

We’re delighted to hear Speechmatics is delivering high accuracy across languages, dialects, and noisy environments, while supporting your team’s productivity. We really value your suggestions around template integration and API features — feedback like this helps shape our roadmap.

"Best, most accurate transcription service"
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

We have used Speechmatics for transcribing recorded stories from our charity's service users. These recordings are often low-quality and featuring strong accents, so other software often struggled... We used to have to manually transcribe (an extremely time consuming task!) but with Speechmatics have been able to speed this up dramatically, while maintaining accuracy and also producing a subtitle-ready SRT file. Massively recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

We currently use the free plan as it allows us enough audio time for our relatively minimal requirements. We used to be able to download a text file with speakers split, but this feature seems either to have been buried or locked behind the subscription. Not a huge issue as we are still able to copy and paste this text from the output, but a slight loss of streamline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Anastasiou of Speechmatics

Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re so pleased Speechmatics is helping your charity save time while maintaining accuracy, even with challenging audio and accents. Appreciate your feedback on speaker-split exports — we’ll make sure this is passed on to our product team.
