!!! note

    Before proceeding, make sure you are familiar with the [OpenAI Speech-to-Text](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/speech-to-text) and the relevant [OpenAI API reference](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/audio/createTranscription)

## Curl

```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/transcriptions -F "[email protected]"
```

## Python

=== "httpx"

    ```python
    import httpx

    with open('audio.wav', 'rb') as f:
        files = {'file': ('audio.wav', f)}
        response = httpx.post('http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/transcriptions', files=files)

    print(response.text)
    ```

## OpenAI SDKs

!!! note

    Although this project doesn't require an API key, all OpenAI SDKs require an API key. Therefore, you will need to set it to a non-empty value. Additionally, you will need to overwrite the base URL to point to your server.

    This can be done by setting the `OPENAI_API_KEY` and `OPENAI_BASE_URL` environment variables or by passing them as arguments to the SDK.

=== "Python"

    ```python
    import httpx

    with open('audio.wav', 'rb') as f:
        files = {'file': ('audio.wav', f)}
        response = httpx.post('http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/transcriptions', files=files)

    print(response.text)
    ```

=== "CLI"

    ```bash
    export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000/v1/
    export OPENAI_API_KEY="cant-be-empty"
    openai api audio.transcriptions.create -m Systran/faster-whisper-small -f audio.wav --response-format text
    ```
