Details
Speechmatics is an enterprise speech recognition service developed in the UK. It is known for accurately recognizing speech across different accents, in situations where several people speak at once, and in recordings with background noise. It offers a free plan on all accounts, with 480 minutes (8 hours) of speech-to-text refreshed every month. Text-to-speech is also free for up to about 1 million characters per month.
Create an account on the official pricing page to activate the free plan immediately, with no credit card required. All of its more than 55 supported languages are available. It also includes speaker identification, which distinguishes who is speaking, as well as recorded file uploads for transcription and real-time transcription as someone speaks.
The 480 free minutes are usually split into 240 minutes for recorded audio transcription and 240 minutes for real-time transcription. It is difficult to use all 480 minutes for just one of the two.
