API Examples

OpenAI Whisper

import openai

# Transcribe audio
with open("meeting.mp3", "rb") as audio_file:
    transcript = openai.Audio.transcribe(
        model="whisper-1",
        file=audio_file,
        response_format="verbose_json",
        timestamp_granularities=["word", "segment"]
    )

# Access results
for segment in transcript.segments:
    print(f"[{segment.start:.2f}] {segment.text}")

AssemblyAI

import assemblyai as aai

transcriber = aai.Transcriber()

config = aai.TranscriptionConfig(
    speaker_labels=True,
    auto_chapters=True,
    entity_detection=True
)

transcript = transcriber.transcribe(
    "https://example.com/meeting.mp3",
    config=config
)

for utterance in transcript.utterances:
    print(f"Speaker {utterance.speaker}: {utterance.text}")

Best Practices

  • Quality Audio: Clean input = better output
  • Choose Right Model: Balance speed vs accuracy
  • Use Diarization: Identify speakers clearly
  • Post-Process: Clean up automated output
  • Verify Critical Content: Human review important
  • Consider Privacy: Handle sensitive content
  • Store Efficiently: Compress and index
  • Provide Context: Vocabulary hints help
