I haven't tried Voxtral but I've been really enjoying Parakeet from NVidia.
Been using it to implement a mixed audiobook player + ebook reader that uses Parakeet to sync the narration with its position in the text. Runs fast enough even if CPU-only

I do think Parakeet is pretty amazing, though, so some of these product announcements have limited interest to me, especially since it's cloud and costs per hour, even if it's a low cost.
Parakeet is trained on text that has had ITN done on it, so it prints digits, which messes up window merges. I'm training that out of it: https://github.com/MimicScribe/parakeet-spoken-form
