OpenAI transcriptions API

Transcribe audio through /v1/audio/transcriptions. Set OPENAI_BASE_URL for an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway.

Quick start

{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a

Defaults:

  • Model: gpt-4o-transcribe
  • Output: <input>.txt

Useful flags

{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-transcribe --out /tmp/transcript.txt
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-mini-transcribe
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize --json

Notes:

  • Supported upload formats include mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, webm.
  • 25 MB upload limit on the hosted API.
  • Use diarize for speaker labels; script sends chunking_strategy=auto and rejects --prompt.
