OpenAI's whisper, code+model are available, and multiple projects have built on it. You could try this wrapper: https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX -- or for short utterances on a smart-phone https://github.com/futo-org/whisper-acft

Deepgram is another alternative. I use it at work, fastest service and also relatively cheap. But Whisper is better for selfhosting
