Wow, I just spent several hours today trying to integrate Google's text-to-speech with a simple webapp. Here's a comparison. Google: "There is a multiloculated fluid collection adjacent to the liver." AssemblyAI: "There is a multi located fluid collection adjacent to the liver." Google does better out of the box, but it isn't customizable (e.g. to a medical vocabulary). I think this is a major limitation of Google's approach, but certainly something they might offer in the future. I do think AssemblyAI needs to offer a real-time dictation as this is the major need in medicine.

Dylan from AssemblyAI here. Thanks for trying the API! Time to implementation is one thing we’re focusing a lot on. We’re really trying to make it fast to get up and running with Assembly — for example not requiring you to specify any meta info about your audio (like sample rate, bitrate, etc). We do have a real time endpoint but it’s not production ready yet — our primary use case right now is for phone call recording transcription. If you want to try the real time endpoint, you can email me at dylan at assemblyai dot com and I would love to get your feedback!
