Whisper-based tools can be very accurate, especially for clean audio. The better your recording, the better the transcript. Spend effort on microphone quality and quiet rooms, not only the software.

Answers & Discussion
Descript is great if the transcript is connected to editing audio or video. You can remove sections by editing text. If you only need a transcript, it may be more than you need, but the workflow is powerful.
Otter is easy for meetings and interviews, especially if you want speaker labels. It is not perfect, but it gives a solid draft. You still need to proofread names, technical words and accents.
