Google Cloud Speech to Text is a cloud service for automatic speech recognition. It converts spoken audio into text in real time and supports 125+ languages and dialects. It’s designed for teams that need to add transcription to apps, contact centers, or call-processing workflows.
How it works
The service uses Google’s Chirp AI model to improve recognition quality, including in cases with accents and background noise. With an API-first approach, it can be integrated into custom products and scaled from small workloads to enterprise deployments.
