The world of advertising is enjoying a prosperous period right now. The market size of internet advertising was valued at $438 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 9% from now until 2030. Which is great news for those doing it right. But ad campaigns are costly and placing money on podcasts and videos that are poorly positioned for their intended audience can lead to a huge loss in investment. Now, more than ever, Adtech Platforms have to consider if they’re best placed to get the most out of boom in the market.

Accuracy is Vital

It’s widely acknowledged that the most time and cost-efficient way to optimize ad placement is through AI transcription. Long gone are the days where human-led solutions could keep up with advertisers needs. Accurate speech-to-text means tagged and crucial words will always be found and customers can spend less time reviewing issues with the transcript. This helps your platform find the right connection between content and advertiser, meaning happier clients all around.

A Global Approach

If your current speech-to-text provider isn’t offering you an accessible, global solution you’re saying goodbye to a vast amount of revenue. With a focus on podcasts in particular – while North America continues to be the dominant force – emerging economies like India, Brazil, China, Turkey, Poland, and Mexico are all cited by Polaris as key regions with expanding middle-class populations, seen as the key demographic for targeted ad spending in audio content.

At Speechmatics, our speech-to-text technology is available in 50 languages, supporting over half the world’s population giving you the chance to tap into potential untapped markets. And where possible, we include accents and dialects within our language packs to improve accuracy across the board.
