Pairing speech recognition with a LLM acting as a post-processor is a pretty good approach.
I put together a script a while back which converts any passed audio file (wav, mp3, etc.), normalizes the audio, passes it to ggerganov whisper for transcription, and then forwards to an LLM to clean the text. I've used it with a pretty high rate of success on some of my very old and poorly recorded voice dictation recordings from over a decade ago.
