Why Claude for this
Domain vocabulary is the highest-leverage tuning available. Drug names, product codes and legal terms are exactly what a general model gets wrong.
Claude is strongest at sustained reasoning over long documents, careful tool use, and a low rate of confident errors. For speech recognition & transcription that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: for very high-volume classification or extraction, a smaller model is cheaper at indistinguishable quality. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
How accurate is it for Indian accents?
Good and improving, but the honest answer depends on audio quality, accent and domain. We benchmark word error rate on your own recordings before you commit.
Can it separate speakers?
Yes, speaker diarisation labels who said what, which is essential for clinical, legal and contact-centre records.
Does the audio leave our environment?
Only if you allow it. We can deploy fully on-premise where confidentiality or regulation requires it.
Alternatives for speech recognition & transcription
