MAI-Transcribe 2 Surges on OpenRouter
Microsoft’s MAI-Transcribe 2 processed 8.5 million OpenRouter requests last week, up from 0.7 million during its first week in September. The broader speech-to-text category grew threefold over the same period.
// ANALYSIS
MAI-Transcribe 2’s adoption suggests low-cost, capable transcription is becoming foundational infrastructure for AI applications.
- –Supports 60 languages, code switching, diarization, timestamps, and configurable transcript styles
- –Its growth significantly outpaces the broader transcription market
- –OpenRouter usage reflects developer adoption, though not necessarily superior transcription quality
- –The $0.10-per-hour pricing and OpenRouter availability lower experimentation barriers for voice agents, captions, and meeting tools
