Artificial Analysis updated its ASR leaderboard with streaming and non-streaming results. Based on Google's token estimates and API pricing ($3.50/M input, $21/M output), Gemini 3.5 Transcribe Live runs about $9 per 1,000 minutes — above Cartesia Ink-2 ($4), Deepgram Nova-3 Realtime ($4.80), and ElevenLabs Scribe v2 Realtime ($6.50).
The leaderboard uses its AA-WER v2 metric: a duration-weighted average over 8 hours across AA-AgentTalk (50%), VoxPopuli, and Earnings22, alongside speed factor and price comparisons.
