Speech to text, transcribe audio: Whisper transcription of an audio file $0.01

Transcribe speech from an audio file at a public URL, or uploaded in a POST body, using Whisper large-v3-turbo. Returns the transcript text, detected language, duration and word count; subtitles=srt or vtt adds subtitle text and timestamps=true adds timed segments and words. Accepts common formats such as MP3, WAV, M4A and OGG up to 5 MB, in 90+ languages. Use for voice notes, podcast clips, meeting snippets, subtitles and voice messages.

Inputs: url (required): Absolute http(s) URL of an audio file (max 5 MB); or POST the file itself (raw body, multipart `file` part, or base64 in JSON); subtitles: srt or vtt: also return subtitle text; timestamps: true: also return timed segments and words; language: Spoken language code such as en, sv or de (default: detected).

Not in the free calls (it costs capacity per call); pay from the first call.

With a card key from /credits, in a header or, when your client can only fetch a URL, in the URL:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://glyphcall.com/transcribe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSpecial%3AFilePath%2FEn-us-hello.ogg"
curl "https://glyphcall.com/transcribe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSpecial%3AFilePath%2FEn-us-hello.ogg&api_key=adt_…"

Without a key the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so a wallet client pays USDC per call and retries. Over MCP (https://glyphcall.com/mcp) this tool is transcribe.
