What does "SOTA" mean in this context; all I could find is "Software Over the Air" but I'm unsure of what it means in a Speech to Text context

“State of the art”.

But I think your original question is still great:

It means "State of the art", which would be roughly equivalent to "as good a result as its currently possible"
