Profile note
The UK's oldest independent speech-recognition lab (founded 2006 by Tony Robinson) and one of very few European ASR vendors with a genuine self-hosted/air-gapped container product. Its current public pricing page has become opaque: it shows a credit system and a bare '0.129' figure for the Pro tier with no labelled unit, so the exact per-hour rate could not be verified from a primary source.
