- AssemblyAI was the winner for the tests we did some months ago, very reliable and accurate.

- Deepgram also looks interesting, recently they released a new model (Nova), they also offer Whisper for a cheaper price ($0.0048/min), I've briefly played a little bit with it but the DX looked a bit bad. They're also offering $200 in credits now.

- If you're on a really tight budget. Most browsers [1] support the SpeechRecognition API [2] where you can transcribe for free. Depends on the browser it works better, for example in Google Chrome it works excellent as the browser actually sends the audio to the cloud (probably uses GCP's Google Cloud Speech to Text)
