Microsoft's 10-cent transcription hour undercuts its own prior pricing, requiring rivals at the old rate to find 3.6 times the volume

The early-bird rate on MAI-Transcribe-2 sits 72% below the line's April price, which saves a 100,000-hour buyer $26,000 a year and takes 26 cents out of every 36 a standalone vendor charged for the same hour.
