No TTS at all in my app :) that was a deliberate choice, only STT. I experimented with many STT options, even self hosting Whisper, but ended up with Soniox. A bit expensive, but reliable. For the AI enrichment I went with Gemini Flash. I also tried Gemma 31B, which is really cheap and surprisingly good, on par with Gemini Flash, but extremely slow everywhere I tried. So you can make your own calculations :) And thanks for the congrats!
