Is voice transcription accessible to mere mortals yet?

I have tried pretty much every API offered by big tech, and also various open source models. All of them seem to have incredibly high word error rates. This is mostly for conversations with various Indian accents.

Did you try Vosk Indian English model? It is specifically built for Indian accent English

In case you want more accuracy you can share a file with an example, we can take a look on how to make the best accuracy.

For Indian ASR it is also worth to mention recently introduced Vakyansh project which builds model for major Indian languages:
