Overview
The Transcript API converts audio into text. Provide an audio URL or upload a file, and receive a full transcription.
Typical Flow
- Submit a transcription request with an audio URL or file upload
- Receive a request ID to track progress
- Poll for results until the transcription completes
- Retrieve the transcribed text
Features
- URL or file upload: Provide a link to hosted audio, or upload a file directly (up to 100MB)
- Asynchronous processing: Transcription runs in the background; poll for results
- Language support: Specify a language code or enable automatic language detection
- Filler words: Optionally include filler words (um, uh) in the output
- Keyword boosting: Improve accuracy for domain-specific terms
Important Considerations
- Supported formats: mp3, wav, ogg, flac, m4a, mp4, webm
- File size limit: 100MB for direct uploads
- Rate limits: Requests are rate-limited per API key
