Mistral Launches Voxtral Transcribe 2 to Undercut Speech-to-Text Rivals on Price
Mistral AI aims to undercut competitors on price in speech recognition with Voxtral Transcribe 2. The second generation of its speech-to-text models starts at $0.003 per minute and, according to Mistral, delivers higher accuracy than models such as GPT-4o mini Transcribe, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Deepgram Nova. The model family includes two variants: Voxtral Mini Transcribe V2, designed for processing large audio files, and Voxtral Realtime, built for real-time applications with latency under 200 milliseconds. Voxtral Realtime, which costs twice as much, uses a dedicated streaming architecture that transcribes audio as it arrives, targeting use cases such as voice assistants, live captions, and call center analytics
