Voice agents have automated support and now handle customer queries with lower latency
Deepgram has a vast UI and a vast range of models, but there could be a simpler version for creating AI agents rather than providing a full-fledged platform for minimal use cases. It could be multilingual, as in India, there are multiple several languages. If it had support for many more languages, especially regional languages, it would be valuable.

Support issues overshadow solid features in daily operations
The support is inadequate. We are dealing with them on our development talk today. There's a lot of finger-pointing going on in terms of whose problem it is. Moving our stuff up to the Google Cloud and getting it to work just as well as it does on people's development machines is problematic. Their support for that, even though we paid for it, isn't really very helpful. That's prevalent in the computer business. You need to have your own experts, otherwise you're really in trouble. The product is an eight out of 10. The support is at best a five. We have to write certain features ourselves because their offerings aren't very powerful. When I don't have a problem, it works pretty well, better than anybody else. But when I do have a problem, I'm severely impacted. It takes a lot of time and money to go back and fix it. What has gotten better with Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is their stuff sounds so natural, it really brings a smile to my face. I wish their support would be better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ROI has been excellent; the cost is night and day compared to the cost of human transcription, and we're spending maybe a tenth of the cost we would if we were still doing manual transcriptions."
"The speed of the solution for transcribing videos is good."
"We have tracked a reduction of around 70% in the support cost and direct human interaction for support."
"The best features of Deepgram for me are the level of transcription accuracy it provides and the amount of time it saves."
"The best thing with Deepgram is they are continually evolving and doing a lot of market research, and they take feedback seriously."
"Deepgram is able to handle large volumes of audio data without compromising accuracy."
"Deepgram has significantly improved our transcription process in terms of speed and accuracy, allowing us to efficiently convert verbal feedback into text, enabling quicker analysis and implementation of new features."
"The solution's Speech-to-Text conversion feature is really awesome."
"It's not complex to set up."
"It's very stable, and the translation capabilities are better than, for example, Microsoft."
"What has gotten better with Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is their stuff sounds so natural, it really brings a smile to my face."
"Precision is the most valuable feature of Google Cloud Text-to-Speech because the text is perfectly voiced."
 

Cons

"I would not recommend Deepgram to other users because it does not properly identify video communication."
"We've had issues in the past where it generates the transcript, and a lot of the text is duplicated."
"When I had an AI interview for coding, Deepgram didn't capture the names of programming languages or well-known LLMs accurately all the time."
"I would like it to be more accurate."
"The traditional Speech-to-Text doesn't understand when the user is done speaking in bot conversations."
"The area of live transcription could be improved. Sometimes, Deepgram's WebSocket is disposed of due to redundancy."
"Deepgram is currently restricted to only the English variants, but it should include other languages, such as German or French."
"Regarding improvements for Deepgram, I think the quality of the transcriptions could be enhanced, as the Spanish accent poses challenges, making it harder to transcribe some words, and considering additional accents from Chilean or Argentine speakers could improve the model's performance with local words."
"Google Cloud Text-to-Speech has just one female voice and one male voice in Brazil, while it has a lot of voices in other countries."
"Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is 100 out of 100 when it works, and when it doesn't work, which is fairly often, it gets a zero."
"We had some problems with Dialogflow."
"I don't like the sentiment analysis. I don't feel like it's that realistic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"When using Deepgram, one needs to pay for the hours or minutes for which the transcription is needed."
"The solution’s pricing is cheap."
"Deepgram is a cheap solution."
"I rate Google Cloud Text-to-Speech three out of ten for pricing."
