    IBM
    It's best for real time transcription and when the meeting is between the two speakers. Word recognition is accurate. Also it's available for various platforms, like cloud, apps, on-premise, API support. Price wise it's much better than other competitors. However, there can be still improvement in filtering noise and improving word accuracy. Language support can be increased further

    Smartling is great for a company or team that doesn't have the resources to translate multiple properties in-house. It automates the process and makes it much more manageable. If you have a large website that is managed by one local team and not a global team, Smartling is for you.

    It provides more flexible plans as compared to others. These plans are affordable for Small and medium-scale enterprises. They also offer free trial. IBM Watson has wider integration support with the help of API. It has very low latency in real time transcription. Also there is a formatting feature to Transcribe dates, times, currency etc as per the desired format

    We prefer Smartling as an online CAT tool because it is easy to use and we can onboard new translators quickly without lengthy training cycles. Our customers like Smartling because they can manage all of their translation needs (website, apps, business documents) through one single platform, share style guides, glossaries and translation memory and save on translation cost over time.
