Also, these are cost prohibitive to use in apps widely or without limitations. Currently, Google Speech to Text is relatively cheaper at $1 for 166 messages. Source: https://cloud.google.com/speech/pricing
Cost prohibitive? IBM seems to be ~16 hours free then 2 cents/minute. Google is 1 hour free then 2.4 cents/minute.
I can't see anything that says how IBMs minutes are done though, whether every message is rounded to 1 minute or not. Edit - based on a comment from someone at IBM in this thread, they're not rounded up to a minute, rather only at the end of the month is the total time rounded. I can't see how they'd be more expensive than google.
Interesting. I worked for a company that did retail speech recognition in the late 90s, I should look up how much that cost in comparison to see how the economics are shaking out.
Ahh interesting. I like the subscription model from the perspective of the business. Seems like it would prohibit signing up for the low-volume user though, right?
