Why does Google make many of their new tools, such as the Speech-to-Text API, so complex? As a user, I simply want to submit an audio file and receive text in return. However, with Google, you need to provide additional information along with the audio file, such as the encoding type, sample rate, and channel count. This is something that Google should be able to determine on its own or make an educated guess if the information is not available. Most applications that process audio files allow you to specify these parameters, but they can also usually figure out this information using well-known libraries like ffmpeg. It seems like Google is currently prioritizing engineering complexity over user simplicity, as if to showcase their technical knowledge (e.g., "Look how much we know about sample rates!") when all the customer really wants is the converted text.
