If you look for a cheaper transcription API you could als use https://Lemonfox.ai. We've optimized the API for long audio files and are much faster and cheaper than OpenAI.

Another great source for trades made by US politicians is https://stockcircle.com/congress-stock-trades. You can see their whole portfolio and also follow other investors like Warren Buffett to see what they are investing in.

https://Lemonfox.ai is another alternative to OpenAI's Whisper API if you need support for word-level timestamps and diarization.

Good tips, especially the point about narrowing the scope. At https://Lemonfox.ai we started with a LLM, image and speech-to-text API. Now we are only focusing on the speech-to-text API as the other areas are already very crowded and there's a lack of innovation in the speech-to-text space.

You may want to try https://lemonfox.ai/ as a OpenAI API alternative. I think relying on open-source models is a great alternative.

We are using Mistral at https://lemonfox.ai/. With Lemonfox you can easily switch from the OpenAI API to open source AI models. Mistral has been working well as a gpt-3.5 replacement but we are currently planning to switch to Zephyr - a fine-tuned Mistral model. We've seen some nice improvements with Zephyr especially with non-English prompts/responses.
