How do I call Transcribe 1?

Hormouz serves Transcribe 1 on two endpoints. The OpenAI-compatible POST /v1/audio/transcriptions takes the file as the multipart field "file", or as JSON input_audio with base64 data and format, and returns {text, usage} in the same response. POST /v1/predictions handles long recordings in the background: input.audio is an https URL or a data: URI, input.language is optional. Code written for OpenAI's SDK works by changing only the base URL.

Transcribe 1 or Transcribe 1 Pro?

Transcribe 1 is the general-purpose model. Transcribe 1 Pro is tuned for interviews, meetings and podcasts and marks speaker changes inside the text. Both gave accurate Persian transcripts in our tests.
