Whether you use Speechmatics in the cloud or run it locally, your hardware plays a major role in how smooth and responsive your realtime experience feels. M‑Tech systems are engineered specifically for sustained performance, stability, and low‑latency workloads— exactly what Speechmatics requires.
Local Speechmatics relies heavily on CPU power. Many thin consumer laptops can reach high speeds briefly but cannot maintain them under continuous load. When the CPU overheats, it throttles, causing lag, bursts, or delayed output.
M‑Tech systems are designed to maintain high performance without throttling.
Realtime workloads generate steady heat. If the system cannot dissipate that heat, accuracy and responsiveness suffer. M‑Tech laptops use large cooling assemblies and optimized airflow to keep temperatures stable during long sessions.
This ensures consistent performance during depositions and trials.
Speechmatics benefits from fast storage, especially when running locally. Slow or saturated drives can introduce latency or cause the engine to respond inconsistently. M‑Tech systems use high‑quality NVMe drives with strong sustained performance.
Clean audio is essential for Speechmatics accuracy. USB instability can cause dropouts, bursts, or misheard words. M‑Tech systems prioritize stable USB controllers and clean power delivery to minimize audio interruptions.

Even when using the cloud version, your laptop still matters. Network stability, USB reliability, and background processes all affect realtime performance. M‑Tech systems are built to minimize interruptions and maintain consistent output.
M‑Tech has supported realtime reporters for more than two decades. Our systems are built with the specific needs of court reporting in mind: stability, low latency, clean audio paths, and reliable performance under pressure.
Speechmatics is evolving quickly. M‑Tech is ready for it.
