Youtube speech recognition is getting quite good, at least for talking heads in English. Are there additional top tier API's other than the IBM?

AT&T has its own "Watson"...but it requires signing up for a premium account, which I think involves an upfront cost:

Twilio has one that also requires payment:

It limits input audio to 2 minutes. And I would have to guess that its model is specifically tuned to phone messages, i.e. one speaker, relatively clear and focused audio, and certain probabilities of phrases.
