Common providers: Deepgram, AssemblyAI, OpenAI Whisper, Google Speech-to-Text. Critical performance metrics are word error rate (WER), latency, and accent/noise robustness. RingDesk uses Deepgram Nova-3 because it has the best WER on US service-business call audio (technical vocabulary, ambient truck/job-site noise).
