## Usage

* [ TypeScript ](#tab-panel-1172)
* [ cURL ](#tab-panel-1173)

**TypeScript**

```ts
const response = await env.AI.run(
  'openai/gpt-4o-transcribe',
  { file: 'data:audio/wav;base64,<...>' },
)
console.log(response)
```

```bash
curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID/ai/run \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "openai/gpt-4o-transcribe",
  "input": {
    "file": "data:audio/wav;base64,<...>"
  }
}'
```

* [ Output ](#tab-panel-1170)
* [ Raw response ](#tab-panel-1171)

Hello

```json
{
  "gatewayMetadata": {
    "keySource": "Unified"
  },
  "result": {
    "text": "Hello"
  },
  "state": "Completed"
}
```

## Examples

**With Language Hint**  — Transcribe with a language hint for better accuracy 

* [ TypeScript ](#tab-panel-1176)
* [ cURL ](#tab-panel-1177)

**TypeScript**

```ts
const response = await env.AI.run(
  'openai/gpt-4o-transcribe',
  { file: 'data:audio/wav;base64,<...>', language: 'en' },
)
console.log(response)
```

```bash
curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID/ai/run \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "openai/gpt-4o-transcribe",
  "input": {
    "file": "data:audio/wav;base64,<...>",
    "language": "en"
  }
}'
```

* [ Output ](#tab-panel-1174)
* [ Raw response ](#tab-panel-1175)

Hello

```json
{
  "gatewayMetadata": {
    "keySource": "Unified"
  },
  "result": {
    "text": "Hello"
  },
  "state": "Completed"
}
```

**Guided Transcription**  — Use a prompt to guide transcription style and context 

* [ TypeScript ](#tab-panel-1180)
* [ cURL ](#tab-panel-1181)

**TypeScript**

```ts
const response = await env.AI.run(
  'openai/gpt-4o-transcribe',
  {
    file: 'data:audio/wav;base64,<...>',
    prompt: 'This is a technical discussion about Kubernetes and cloud-native architecture.',
    language: 'en',
  },
)
console.log(response)
```

```bash
curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID/ai/run \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "openai/gpt-4o-transcribe",
  "input": {
    "file": "data:audio/wav;base64,<...>",
    "prompt": "This is a technical discussion about Kubernetes and cloud-native architecture.",
    "language": "en"
  }
}'
```

* [ Output ](#tab-panel-1178)
* [ Raw response ](#tab-panel-1179)

This is a technical discussion about Kubernetes and cloud-native architecture.

```json
{
  "gatewayMetadata": {
    "keySource": "Unified"
  },
  "result": {
    "text": "This is a technical discussion about Kubernetes and cloud-native architecture."
  },
  "state": "Completed"
}
```

**High Temperature**  — Higher temperature for more varied transcription 

* [ TypeScript ](#tab-panel-1184)
* [ cURL ](#tab-panel-1185)

**TypeScript**

```ts
const response = await env.AI.run(
  'openai/gpt-4o-transcribe',
  { file: 'data:audio/wav;base64,<...>', temperature: 0.5 },
)
console.log(response)
```

```bash
curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID/ai/run \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "openai/gpt-4o-transcribe",
  "input": {
    "file": "data:audio/wav;base64,<...>",
    "temperature": 0.5
  }
}'
```

* [ Output ](#tab-panel-1182)
* [ Raw response ](#tab-panel-1183)

Hello, world!

```json
{
  "gatewayMetadata": {
    "keySource": "Unified"
  },
  "result": {
    "text": "Hello, world!"
  },
  "state": "Completed"
}
```

## Parameters

* [ Input ](#tab-panel-1186)
* [ Output ](#tab-panel-1187)

file

`string`requiredThe audio file as a data URI (data:audio/...;base64,...) or HTTPS URL. Supported formats: flac, mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, ogg, wav, webm.

language

`string`The language of the input audio. Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 format will improve accuracy and latency.

prompt

`string`An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. The prompt should match the audio language.

temperature

`number`minimum: 0maximum: 1The sampling temperature, between 0 and 1\. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic. Defaults to 0 if omitted.

text

`string`The transcribed text.
