Claap’s team knew that in order to realize their vision, they needed to make video content a truly intuitive medium of information. This, in turn, meant that they had to make video content easy to summarize, categorize, search, and digest. A high-quality transcription tool was therefore crucial to their roadmap.
Claap’s Co-founder and CTO, Thomas Hernandez, needed a highly accurate, fast, and easy-to-implement multilingual solution both for core transcription and for video intelligence add-ons.
While the Claap team considered building the solution in-house using a layer of add-ons on top of an open-source product, they felt that transcription was becoming enough of a commodity that a specialized API provider would be a better fit, thanks to reduced time-to-market and lower infrastructure costs.
The issue they encountered, however, was that the incumbent providers did not meet the near-perfect quality they were looking for, as they were primarily US-centric, with lower quality for non-native English speakers. They were also either too slow, or prohibitively expensive.

✔️ A high-quality transcription at a scalable cost so it could be deployed in every user space.
✔️ A solution adapted to speakers from multiple geographies, with different languages and regional accents.

Speech-To-Text
When people talk about recent AI advancements, Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT often steal the limelight. They summarize, write, and generate text with impressive fluency, making them the poster child of generative AI.
Product News
Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled businesses to build advanced AI-driven features, but navigating the many available models and optimization techniques isn't always easy.
