Amazon Transcribe
Amazon Transcribe makes it easy for developers to add speech to text capabilities to their applications. Audio data is virtually impossible for computers to search and analyze. Therefore, recorded speech needs to be converted to text before it can be used in applications. Historically, customers had to work with transcription providers that required them to sign expensive contracts and were hard to integrate into their technology stacks to accomplish this task. Many of these providers use outdated technology that does not adapt well to different scenarios, like low-fidelity phone audio common in contact centers, which results in poor accuracy. Amazon Transcribe uses a deep learning process called automatic speech recognition (ASR) to convert speech to text quickly and accurately. Amazon Transcribe can be used to transcribe customer service calls, automate subtitling, and generate metadata for media assets to create a fully searchable archive.

    "Doesn't work"

    Posted 2025-03-16

    Pros: It seemed to work fine with continuous text. But it then does not work when you have videos where the spoken part is not continuous.

    Cons: The app does not work properly (if you have a video with continuous spoken text it will work, but in vlogs where spoken parts are followed by parts with instrumental music the time stamps are completely off).

    Overall: I reached out to customer service and was told they are working on it. When nothing happened I reached out again and was ghosted. I never got a refund and wasted $100 on a useless app with poor customer service.

    "Dodgy billing practices"

    Posted 2024-07-29

    Pros: N/A.

    Cons: Cockatoo has some "unusual" billing practices. Lots of users, including me, complain that their cards have either been charged somehow due to a manual upgrade or were not receiving the standard renewal email communication resulting in paying for the software for months without realising (my case).

    Overall: When I realised it, I googled, saw all the negative reviews and sent a quite heated email to customer support effectively threatening to make that as much public as possible. I received an email from the founder himself that they will not be threatened. Quite interesting and theatrical since other users report same issues.

    "Rip off company who do not process cancellation, no chat, no contact. Charged me multiple times when I have already cancelled 3 times. No service. Total con scam "

    Posted 2023-11-13

    Pros: None. It's average as a capability and a rip off organisation. None. It's average as a capability and a rip off organisation.

    Cons: Scam approach. Looks free too trial but shifts so have to upgrade when use. No chat. No support. Classic bullshit fake q & as which are largely useless and all designed to have zero cost or service in business. Cancel and it still charges. No email confirmation that cancel. I've now screengrabbed. If says password doesn't work it fails to email; to change. Now stolen 4 months of payment after I cancelled. I've had to dispute via credit card as get no answer.

    Overall: Untrustworthy marketing scam business. Zero integrity and designed to trap you and then to extract money - even after you cancel.
