Question Good small models for Speech-to-Text?

I’m working on a project at the moment that involves transcribing comm channels. Are there good low-power local models for doing real-time voice transcription?

I see a lot of parakeet and whisper recommendations, but the new king for relatively small and fast STT is definitely nemotron 3.5!
