Haven't have a chance to test AWS Transcribe yet but I run a benchmark of IBM, Microsoft and Google transcription api weekly.

So far, IBM watson work best for english, google in other . language. For example the transcript of trump inauguration speech (16minutes 38seconds, 8371 character) give me a levenshtein distance to the official one of (smaller is better) :

- IBM : 898 (566130ms)

- Google : 1249 (301635ms)

- Microsoft : 5233 (109391ms)

This is not a far comparison. IBM is the leader because they have a product that is specifically designed for this whereas the others do not.
