Google Cloud Updates AI-powered Speech APIs

Google has announced updates to its Cloud Speech to TextTrack this API and Text to SpeechTrack this API APIs that include additional languages, voices, and more affordable pricing models. The goal of these updates is to help developers build better intelligent voice applications and make the products more widely available. The Cloud Speech to Text API, available in both RESTful and gRPC flavors, is relied upon for creating voice applications where the accuracy of speech recognition is crucial, such as phone call and video transcription tools. The first update is that Google is now making premium AI models for video and enhanced phones that were previously in beta, generally available to all developers. According to the provider, the video model has been improved and now has 64 percent fewer transcription errors while the phone model has 62 percent fewer errors.
