Across the leading transcription products, the market splits between developer APIs, meeting capture, and personal dictation. Deepgram and AssemblyAI anchor the API-heavy end with real-time streaming, diarization, multilingual support, and analytics for voice agents, call centers, and media workflows, while Shadow reflects demand for local, bot-free meeting notes with summaries, action items, and screen-aware context.
