SpeechText AI

SpeechText.AI is a transcription platform that converts audio and video recordings into text, subtitles, and captions using deep neural network speech recognition. It supports more than 30 languages and accents, offers speaker identification for multi-person recordings, provides domain-specific models tuned for finance, healthcare, legal, and HR content, and lets users search across transcribed audio using natural language. Output can be edited interactively and exported as TXT, PDF, DOCX, and other formats. Founded in 2019 and based in Berlin, Germany, the company targets journalists, researchers, medical professionals, legal practitioners, podcasters, and businesses that need meeting or interview documentation. Rather than a monthly subscription, it uses a pay-as-you-go model sold in blocks of transcription minutes, and it offers a speech recognition API for developers who want to build the technology into their own products. The company reports a 3.8% word error rate on the open LibriSpeech benchmark and hosts data on European servers for GDPR compliance. An honest limitation: because pricing is minute-based rather than a flat subscription, costs scale directly with how much audio a user transcribes, which can add up for heavy, ongoing use compared to flat-rate competitors.
