Transcribe a pre-recorded audio file

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to transcribe an audio file using Shunya Labs APIs.

Get Your API Key

To access the API, you’ll need your API key. You can generate your API key in the console here [link]. Store the key as a managed secret.

The REST API provides a simple interface for batch transcription.

curl -X POST "https://tb.shunyalabs.ai/transcribe" \
-H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here" \
-F "file=@your_audio.wav" \
-F "language_code=en" \

A successful transcription job should give you a transcript response such as the following:

Step 3: View the response

    "detected_language": "English",
    "total_time": 2.34
