68 AssemblyAI - Speech to Text API Reviews
AssemblyAI has been a phenomenal partner to work with and their experienced team made implementation a smoothe process. Our clients give high praise to the accuracy and consistency offered by AssemblyAI's Speech to Text API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've yet to experience any issues that couldn't be managed by adjusting our prompts. AI naturally likes to make assumptions when interpreting transcriptions, but we noticed AssemblyAI's API does a great job with it's initial response. A tweak here and there to our prompts was all it needed to improve accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Assembly has been the go-to for our business for all things Speech to Text related. We love the ease-of-use with integration, extremely clear documentation (implementation), phenomenal support, and accuracy of the speech to text recognition.
Assembly has kept up with our startup's high volume of requests. We grew quickly from 0-180,000 users within 7 months and used Assembly from our very first MVP into our full scale production versions now. We have had practicaly no issues throughout this process - and if we did - support was quick to provide a solution.
In addition to all of the above, the price for the product is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They are limited in the number of languages they offer. While I haven't done extensive competitor research, I believe that others may offer more language variety which we would greatly benefit from in our app.
The other downside is the number of customizable outputs from the API. We wanted our Speech to Text output to deliver us an SRT file that only displays one word at a time on the screen (since this is a popular format on social media). Assembly does not support these kinds of customizations - however, they did offer a solution for this that requires custom code post-processing of the API call which we appreciated.
Therefore, while there are a few small drawbacks, we have been able to accurately deliver speech-to-text recognition to our 180,000+ users thanks to Assembly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard is awful, the usage stats are not great and is difficult to handle multiple users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The documentation and playground is great as well how well thought the APIs are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The dashboard lacks some usage analytics features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most of the transcriptions performed achieve good results, but we face challenges with lower-quality audio (which is common in Brazil). The pricing charged in dollars is hindering progress (as we operate in Brazil). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
