"Strong Language Coverage and Account Management, but Roadmap Flexibility Needs Work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

Range of languages and account management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

commercial model flexibility, and roadmap/speed for new languages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Anastasiou of Speechmatics

Thanks for highlighting the range of languages and our account management, good to know those hit the mark. On the flip side, commercial model flexibility and speed for adding new languages are fair concerns. We're actively working on having a more adaptable commercial approach, and while we can't promise new languages overnight, those requests do drive our roadmap decisions. If there’s a specific need around languages, let us know. Helps us prioritise.

"easy API integration and quality transcripts"
4.5/5
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.

"Speechmatics has saved us so much time"
5/5
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"
5/5
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.

"Low-Latency, Low-Error Recognition for Real-Time Robotics"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

Low-latency recognition with a low word error rate. Makes it very good for real-time robotic applications if coupled with a echo-cancellation mic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

On premise integration in dedicated software could be made simpler Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Anastasiou of Speechmatics

Thanks for pointing out the low-latency recognition and low word error rate; definitely what our tech is built for, especially in real-time robotics.

On the on-premise integration front, that's a fair call. We're aware it could be smoother. If there's a specific aspect that’s causing headaches, do let us know, it helps shape our updates.

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

"Live Transcription you can trust"
5/5
What do you like best about Speechmatics?

Blazing fast, accurate and stable live and on-demand transcription. It's the best live transcription service we've used so far. It has high language coverage, custom glossaries and speaker diarization, which are essential for live subtitling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speechmatics?

It would be great to support an arbitrary number of different languages being spoken at the same time - useful for live multilingual events. Nevertheless, I don't know of a competitor that can do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Anastasiou of Speechmatics

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear Speechmatics is helping power your live and on-demand transcription needs with speed, accuracy, and reliability.
