I think Google has the best speech to text technology in the world right now.


It’s anecdotal but Google probably has a ton of speech to text data from YouTube captions and such. Their hangouts captioning was phenomenal. I have full hearing but I still switch it on. It’s really good.


Don't forget that their CAPTCHAs for the visually impaired use YouTube audio, so they're building a very accurate, human-trained closed-captioning library.


But it assumes single language and miserably fails on mixed language content.
