WhisperAPI
FreemiumPay-as-you-go transcription API and web app built on OpenAI Whisper
What is WhisperAPI?
WhisperAPI transcribes audio and video files using OpenAI's Whisper models, through a web interface or an API. Developers and content teams use it to get transcripts of large files in many languages without running Whisper themselves.
Files of up to 10 GB are accepted, and transcripts come back in minutes in more than 98 languages. You can preview the result with timestamps and export it as JSON, plain text, VTT subtitles, DOCX or PDF.
Pricing uses credits bought in bundles with no monthly fee, and the credits do not expire. New accounts get five free credits to test the service, and documentation covers the API for developers.
