> Also, Google is kinda famous for having the worst speech recognition of the enterprise offerings.
Not in my experience. I tested basically all commercial speech recognition APIs a number of years ago and Google was significantly ahead of everyone else.
It was some time ago and I haven't tested since, but my casual use of speech recognition systems (e.g. via Alexa or Google Assistant) suggests that it's only gotten better since then.
Google's gotten worse for professional use than they once were, in my opinion. Maybe it's because they're targeting a wider variety of dialects and accents but that's just a hypothesis. It used to be that if you spoke in the "dictation voice" where you enunciated clearly and bit your consonants Google would nail every word except true homophones but that isn't the case anymore.
