# Venice Transcription (`/audio/transcriptions`)
`POST /api/v1/audio/transcriptions` takes an audio file and returns text. It's OpenAI-compatible with `multipart/form-data` — the OpenAI SDK's `audio.transcriptions.create()` works unchanged.
| Method | Path | Auth | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `POST` | `/api/v1/audio/transcriptions` | Bearer key or x402 (SIWX) | `multipart/form-data`, file field `file`, max 25 MB. Billed per second of audio. |
## Use when
- You need STT (speech-to-text) for voice notes, meetings, podcasts, short audio.
- You need word/segment timestamps for subtitles or chapters.
- You want to pick between Venice-hosted Parakeet, Whisper-family models, ElevenLabs Scribe, or xAI STT.
For video, there is no transcription endpoint any more — `POST /video/transcriptions` is retired and returns `410`. Extract the audio track and send it here, or ask a video-capable chat model via [`venice-chat`](../venice-chat/SKILL.md).
## Minimal request
```bash
curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/audio/transcriptions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
-F "file=@./meeting.m4a" \
-F "model=nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3" \
-F "response_format=json" \
-F "timestamps=false"
```
```json
{ "text": "Alright everyone, let's kick off the meeting...", "duration": 184.2 }
```
With `timestamps=true`, the JSON also carries a `timestamps` object (see below).
## Request (`multipart/form-data`)
Only the fields below are read; anything else in the form is ignored.Details
