The market size for global speech-to-text API is projected to reach USD 8,698.56 Million by 2028. The speech-to-text API market growth is attributed to the increasing acceptance of smart speakers and smartphones and strict regulatory and compliance. In recent years, the emergence of voice assistants has given rise to their growing usage among the worldwide population. Applications, such as Google Assistant, Cortana, Alexa, and Siri are existing in nearly every smartphone. They are also being incorporated by the prominent manufactures in various other devices. Hence, voice-enables applications are expected to shift the user’s involvement with technology. In turn, these factors will boost the global speech-to-text API market growth in the given timeframe.
Speech-to-text API is also known as computer speech recognition, automatic speech recognition (ASR), or speech t- text (STT). It is a field of computational linguistics that progresses methodologies and technologies that allow the recognition and translation of spoken language with the help of computers. Recently, the field has furthered from improvements in deep learning and big data. The developments are shown not only by the rising of theoretical papers published in the field but more prominently by the worldwide industry acceptance of a variety of deep learning methods in designing and deploying speech recognition systems.

The growing shift to voice-enabled applications is influencing augmented reality (AR), natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning (ML) to automate the conversation. Furthermore, immediate support services and the popularity of transcription boost the target industry hulks to advance speech-to-text API solutions.
For instance, in March 2020, IBM Corporation announced that the company updated its speech-to-text recognition service. It enables tracking of all the activities for operations of the asynchronous HTTP interface. It also supports speaker labels for German and Korean language models. On the other hand, in October 2019, Rev.com unveiled its real-time audio transcription. It is powered by Rev.ai API, the company’s proprietary speech engine. It allows building speech recognition directly into services and applications efficiently.
Seeing the recent COVID-19 pandemic condition, large enterprises, and small & medium enterprises (SMEs) are likely to decrease their R&D expenditure on speech-to-text software and solutions which might interrupt the speech-to-text developments. Nevertheless, the demand for such solutions is expected to perceive considerable upsurge due to social distancing and stay-at-home initiatives taken by the world.
