Our observations
- Pricing differs by model, language mode and recorded versus streaming use.
- An API needs integration work; test the complete workflow, not just an isolated recording.

What independent reviews tell us
Trustpilot snapshot
2 reviews · observed 28 October 2026 · 3/5 platform score
The profile shows one five-star and one one-star review, with no reviews in the past 12 months. That split offers too little evidence to identify a recurring customer experience.
Two older company-profile reviews are not a reliable measure of the current speech API. We do not use this score to rank transcription accuracy.
