What do you like best about the product?

AssemblyAI is seriously impressive. Before I found it, I tried out Google Cloud, Whisper, and some open-source tools for diarization. I even gave Read.ai a shot, but honestly, none of them gave me the results I was looking for.

Then I saw someone mention AssemblyAI on Reddit, and I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did—their transcription and diarization are on another level. I barely ever need to edit the transcripts, which is rare with these kinds of tools.

The pricing is super reasonable for what you get, and the API is really flexible. I’ve been able to build my own workflows to transcribe meetings, interviews, and videos without any hassle. I use it pretty much every day for transcribing meetings I record on my computer, and I save everything in Markdown format.

If you’re looking for a solid, reliable transcription service that just works, I can’t recommend AssemblyAI enough.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's not that I don't like but I think there is high bareer for non-techs to access the serviece. I know tht they ahve a playground, but it's still scary for peop,e who want to use the service but see the. Some friends who see my workflow wants to mimic but stop when they see the api nterface. The docs are very well detailed, but there are barreres for adoption for certain customer segments still.

Another thing that I would like would to store the cluster of voicers that are recorded I would like the odel to automatically name them. I think this would be too complicated and probably there's privacy concerns involved. But it would be a quality of life approach. But I guess this is a niche need instead of something the custoemr base would be interested at

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

AssemblyAI is solving the problem of turning audio into accurate, structured text—especially with speaker diarization and high transcription quality. It saves me a huge amount of time. I use it to transcribe meetings, interviews, and video content recorded locally on my computer, and the results are so good I rarely need to edit them. Having access to a reliable API also means I can fully automate my workflow and store the transcripts in Markdown, exactly the way I need. It’s made transcription effortless and consistent, which is a big deal for someone who works with audio content daily.
