Mistral AI (Voxtral)
Mistral's Voxtral Transcribe 2 speech-to-text API with diarization included, from a French company hosting in the EU.
European teams looking for a low batch rate from an EU-hosted provider get Voxtral Mini Transcribe 2 at $0.18/hour, with speaker diarization, context biasing of up to 100 terms and word-level timestamps all included. Realtime transcription doubles that to $0.36/hour. Unlike the batch model, Voxtral Mini Transcribe Realtime is released as open weights under Apache 2.0, so the streaming side can also be run on your own hardware.
