transcribe mp3 api

If you want to transcribe an MP3 via an API, here are the common ways to do it:

1) OpenAI Speech-to-Text API

You can send an MP3 file to a transcription endpoint.

Python example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()

audio_file = open("audio.mp3", "rb")

transcript = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
    model="whisper-1",
    file=audio_file
)

print(transcript.text)

cURL example

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -F file="@audio.mp3" \
  -F model="whisper-1"

2) Google Speech-to-Text

Good for scalable transcription, especially if you already use Google Cloud.

3) AWS Transcribe

Useful for batch processing and large files stored in S3.

4) Azure Speech to Text

Another solid option with real-time and batch transcription.

Notes

• MP3 is usually supported by these services.
• For long files, you may need to upload to cloud storage first.
• If you need speaker diarization, timestamps, or translation, some APIs support those too.

If you want, I can give you:

• a Node.js example
• a Python script
• a FastAPI endpoint
• or help choosing the best API for your use case.
