WhisperAPI

WhisperAPI is a developer-focused API for fast audio and video transcription powered by the OpenAI Whisper model. It’s designed to add speech-to-text to products without running your own infrastructure or managing model setup.

Speech recognition with OpenAI Whisper

WhisperAPI runs on Whisper Large-v2 and is built to handle recordings of different lengths and challenging audio. You can send a file or a link and receive text output with or without timestamps, in multiple formats.

Use cases and integrations

Common ways to use the API include:

• Generating subtitles for video
• Transcribing podcasts
• Converting calls, lectures, and interviews into text
• Connecting transcription to internal analytics systems
• Embedding speech-to-text in web apps and mobile clients

Pricing and getting started

You can start without a bank card and use a daily free transcription limit. After that, pricing is pay-as-you-go per minute. Documentation and request examples help you integrate the API into an existing stack and automate speech processing.
