Artificial Analysis published leaderboard details for MAI-Transcribe-2, available via Microsoft Foundry at $0.10 per hour — equivalent to $1.67 per 1,000 minutes of audio.
That undercuts other high-accuracy models such as ElevenLabs Scribe v2 ($3.67), Smallest AI Pulse Pro ($4), and Gemini 3.5 Transcribe ($5), corroborating Microsoft's lowest-price claim. The leaderboards compare word error rate, speed, and pricing across streaming and non-streaming speech-to-text models.
