We offer three variants: REST API for files under 30 seconds with synchronous processing, Batch API for files up to 1 hour with speaker diarization and timestamps, and Streaming API for real-time transcription via WebSocket.

What audio formats are supported?

We support 10+ formats including MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, Opus, FLAC, M4A, AMR, WMA, and WebM. The Streaming API supports WAV and raw PCM formats at 16kHz sample rate.
