# Innovative Speech-to-Text for Voice API

### 5, Sep 2023

We are excited to announce the launch of our innovative in-house speech-to-text (STT) engine for Voice API and TeXML. While our existing integration with Google's speech-to-text engine continues to be available, our new engine offers significant advantages.

The new speech-to-text engine offers significantly better transcription accuracy and is more [cost-effective](https://telnyx.com/pricing/call-control) at $0.025 per minute compared to the existing Google engine at $0.05 per minute.

To get started using the new speech-to-text engine, simply follow a few simple steps listed in our [STT Tutorial](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/voice/programmable-voice/speech-to-text).

We're committed to continually innovating and improving our services to meet your needs. By offering this new in-house STT engine, we aim to provide more choices and a better overall experience. We encourage you to try out the new engine and share your feedback.

Thank you for being a part of our community. Happy transcribing!
