1.1k views Asked by At

I have been trying to integrate speech recognition stt in my project and after trying out various of them I found chrome's native web speech API to be the best. How is it when compared to google's speech API in terms of performance and accuracy.

The Web Speech API is a W3C supported specification that allows browser vendors to supply a speech recognition engine of their choosing (be it local or cloud-based) that backs an API you can use directly from the browser without having to worry about API limits and the like.

The Google Speech API is a cloud-based solution that allows you to use Google's speech software outside of a browser. It also provides broader language support and can transcribe longer audio files. It requires billing information for testing purposes and charges after 30 days of trial.
