Transcribe audio (beta)

Changed on

Upload an audio file and get its transcript back in the same response. Cloud transcription through the API is in beta. Limits, response shape, and availability may change, and there is no SLA. For long recordings or free, private transcription, use the OpenWhispr CLI with the desktop app running. Requires a Pro or Business plan and transcriptions:write on a personal key (owk_live_); workspace keys get 403. Files are capped at 4 MB per request, usage at 600 audio minutes per calendar month, and one transcription runs at a time per key. Each call counts as 5 requests against the key's per-minute and per-day rate limits.
