    Accurate and reliable

    Reviewed on Jul 09, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Accurate transcription, reliable service and great prices. It is easy to integrate, easy to use, and full of valuable insights for your audio
    What do you dislike about the product?
    It only supports EU and US data residency. Regional self deployments would be great.
    Moreover, for companies that deal with both text and audio data, it would be useful to have the same pii redaction and insights for both data types, but AssemblyAI only accepts audio inputs, forcing us to try and replicate their pii redaction on text data through other means, or skip their pii redaction and insights for sake of uniformity.

    AssemblyAI: accurate transcriptions simple API to integrate advanced features fast and effective

    Reviewed on Jul 08, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    AssemblyAI is one of the best choices for automatically transcribing and analyzing audio. It is very accurate, fast, and easy to use. It has many features and is perfect for developers, tech companies, and anyone who wants to manage large amounts of voice data automatically. With the API system, you can create your own software and customize it as you wish. I use the APIs with my own program in Python.

    Strengths
    Accuracy: among the best accuracy rates in the industry, with a very low Word Error Rate (WER) and consistent performance even on complex audio.

    Speed: asynchronous transcription in less than 45 seconds and real-time with latency under 600 ms.

    Developer experience: well-documented API, easy to integrate, with practical examples and effective technical support.

    Versatility: suitable for both simple use cases (webinar transcription, meetings, podcasts) and complex workflows (sentiment analysis, entity extraction, content moderation).

    Accessibility: competitive pay-as-you-go pricing, with no hidden costs.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I can't say I've found any problems in the system. Excellent and reliable. The best.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

    What do you like best about the product?
    Excellent documentation and responsive support that will help you resolve any issues with using the API.
    Multiple language support and automatic detection. The ability to upload files directly to their server, which makes it faster than saving them to third-party services.
    You pay for usage instead of a subscription, which is very nice.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    During my time using the service, I haven't found much that I dislike. The main my issue is that I would like to see support for video files from services such as YouTube directly via a link. Currently, I have to use third-party services to download and process videos from YouTube before sending them to AssamblyAI.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I am a mobile and web application developer.
    My applications are based on converting video or audio files into text. Therefore, AssamblyAI fully covers all the functionality of my applications.

    It’s easy to implement and delivers great value for money. The way the API is designed is excellent!
