Input

Hint: You can drag and drop a file or click to upload

Enable to generate word-level timestamps for the transcription. Note: This may increase processing time.
If set to true, the function will wait for the result to be generated and uploaded before returning the response. It allows you to get the result directly in the response. This property is only available through the API.

README

OpenAI Whisper (Large-v3)

OpenAI Whisper (Large-v3) is a production-ready speech recognition model that transcribes or translates audio into clean, readable text. With support for dozens of languages, optional word-level timestamps, and flexible task modes — it's ideal for subtitling, transcription, and multilingual workflows.

Why It Stands Out

  • Transcribe or translate: Choose between same-language transcription or translation to English.
  • Multilingual support: Transcribe audio in dozens of languages with automatic language detection.
  • Word-level timestamps: Generate precise timing data for subtitle alignment and editing workflows.
  • Prompt-guided output: Steer formatting, terminology, or punctuation with custom prompts.
  • Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better transcription guidance.
  • Flexible input: Supports direct audio upload or public URL.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
audioYesUpload or link to an audio file (MP3 / WAV / M4A, etc.).
languageNoLanguage code for transcription; use "auto" for automatic detection.
taskNoChoose "transcribe" for same-language or "translate" for English output.
enable_timestampsNoGenerate word-level timestamps (may increase processing time).
promptNoShort guidance text to steer transcription style or terminology.
enable_sync_modeNoWait for result before returning response (API only).

How to Use

  1. Upload your audio — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
  2. Select language — choose a specific language or use "auto" for detection.
  3. Choose task — select "transcribe" for same-language output or "translate" for English.
  4. Enable timestamps (optional) — turn on for word-level timing data.
  5. Add a prompt (optional) — guide formatting, punctuation, or specific terminology.
  6. Click Run and wait for transcription to complete.
  7. Copy or download the transcribed text.

Best Use Cases

  • Subtitle Generation — Create accurate, timed transcripts for video subtitling.
  • Meeting Transcription — Convert recorded meetings, interviews, and calls into searchable text.
  • Translation Workflows — Translate foreign-language audio directly to English text.
  • Content Repurposing — Turn podcasts, webinars, and lectures into written content.
  • Accessibility — Generate transcripts to make audio content accessible.

Pricing

ModePrice
Standard (no timestamps)$0.001 / s
With timestamps enabled$0.002 / s

Total cost = duration of audio (in seconds) × price per second

Examples

  • 60s audio (standard) → 60 × $0.001 = $0.06
  • 60s audio (with timestamps) → 60 × $0.002 = $0.12
  • 10 min (600s) audio (standard) → 600 × $0.001 = $0.60
  • 10 min (600s) audio (with timestamps) → 600 × $0.002 = $1.20

Pro Tips for Best Quality

  • Use clear audio with minimal background noise for optimal accuracy.
  • Specify the language manually if auto-detection is inconsistent.
  • Enable timestamps only when needed for subtitles or alignment — it doubles the cost.
  • Add a prompt to guide transcription — include names, jargon, or formatting preferences.
  • Use "translate" task for non-English audio when you need English output.

Notes

  • Ensure uploaded audio URLs are publicly accessible.
  • Timestamps are best for subtitles and editing, but may take longer to process.
  • Processing time varies based on audio duration and current queue load.
