Suggested alternative

Whisper (OpenAI) — Free
If you only need speech-to-text accuracy and prefer an open ASR engine, Whisper is a strong, cost-free option. It focuses on transcription quality but typically requires extra tooling or manual steps to build landing pages, captions, or stylized show notes that Shownotes provides out of the box.
