Mistral released Voxtral Transcribe 2, a pair of speech-to-text models including Voxtral Mini for batch processing and Voxtral Realtime for live applications, with the latter available as open-weights software. Voxtral Mini achieves 4% word error rate at $0.003 per minute, outperforming competitors like GPT-4o mini and Gemini 2.5 Flash while processing audio 3x faster than ElevenLabs' Scribe v2 at one-fifth the cost. The models support 13 languages with speaker diarization, context biasing, and configurable latency down to sub-200 milliseconds, enabling applications from live subtitling to voice agents and contact center automation.
