Speechmatics, the world’s leading speech-to-text API scaleup, has launched its Real-Time SaaS API, enabling customers to incorporate real-time transcription into their operations using the cloud. Real-time transcription, and in particular accurate real-time transcription, has often only been for enterprise-level businesses, with large-scale rollouts. Real-Time SaaS is now available for integration through the Speechmatics self-service portal, which greatly lowers the barriers to entry for SME customers, as they no longer need to build and manage their own infrastructure. This comes as real-time speech-to-text services have historically been riddled with errors and a substandard output has come to be accepted as the norm for real-time services and applications. Effective real-time captioning is essential for a range of applications, such as a sports event, or live streaming meetings. Speechmatics’ Real-Time SaaS does not compromise on accuracy, providing the same quality of transcription as Batch (pre-recorded media files). It also offers a sliding scale, where customers can balance speed with accuracy to meet their specific needs – no other major real-time speech-to-text provider offers this. This rollout enables deployments of any size, from individual streams to major enterprises. Read more
