What does Speechmatics do?
Speechmatics builds speech recognition with unusually strong handling of accents and dialects, including UK regional speech that models trained mostly on American English transcribe badly. For anything transcribing British voices, that difference is the whole point.
How does Speechmatics work?
Trains on a deliberately wide range of accents and speaking conditions rather than optimising for standard American English, which is why its accuracy holds up on regional UK speech.
What does Speechmatics offer?
Speech-to-text APIs and on-premises deployment, for media, contact centres, government and platform companies.
Who runs Speechmatics?
Speechmatics has 3 currently appointed directors.
- Anthony John Robinson
- Katrina Maria Wigdahl
- Benedikt Julian Nikolaus Von Thungen-Reichenbach-Evans
Currently appointed officers only, from the Companies House register. Directors who have resigned are excluded — naming someone who left as running the company is worse than naming nobody.

Why does Speechmatics matter to a UK operator?
Models trained mostly on American English transcribe Scottish, Welsh and northern English speech badly, and that is a real problem for any UK business recording customer calls. Speechmatics treats it as a design goal rather than an afterthought, which is the strongest UK-specific argument any company on this page has.
