How do I call GPT-4o Mini Transcribe?

Hormouz serves GPT-4o Mini Transcribe 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.

Both are billed per token and both gave accurate Persian transcripts in our tests. The Mini variant is smaller and cheaper, which makes it the cost-effective choice for high-volume transcription; GPT-4o Transcribe is the higher-quality model.
