How this service works

HALOWERK medienwerk — bezahlte Endpunkte nach x402. Preise in USDC auf Base Mainnet.

Output

Returns the full transcript as plain text, a word-level array with each word's start time, end time, and confidence score, the utterances and paragraphs the recogniser identified, and (when no language was specified) the detected language with its confidence score.

Example use cases

Podcast episode transcript generation

“Transcribe this podcast episode for me — the audio is at https://cdn.mypodcast.com/ep42.mp3 — I need the full transcript broken into paragraphs and each word with its start time and end time so I can add a searchable transcript to our website.”

Meeting recording with speaker turns

“I have a recorded Zoom call at https://storage.example.com/team-meeting.mp4 — can you transcribe it and give me the text with timestamps for every word so our project manager can review what was said and when?”

Auto-detect language in foreign audio

“I have this audio file in base64 — I don't know what language it's in — can you transcribe it and tell me what language was detected and how confident the recogniser is, along with the full transcript text?”

Technical details

Endpoint

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need a detailed, word-level transcript with timestamps and confidence scores from an audio or video file — especially when you also want automatic language detection. It is particularly useful for pipelines that need structured transcript data (utterances, paragraphs) beyond a plain text dump, and it accepts both remote URLs and inline base64, making it flexible for various file sources.

Side effects

Unreachable or invalid file URL returns an error with no transcript
Unsupported audio/video format may result in a processing failure
Very long files may time out or exceed size limits
Corrupted base64 payload causes decoding errors
Silent or near-silent audio may yield an empty or low-confidence transcript
Non-speech audio (music only) may produce garbled or empty output

Input

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
source	object	The recording. Either url or content_base64.
language	string	BCP-47 code such as de, en, es. "multi" enables multilingual recognition and is billed at the provider's higher rate. Omit to let the recogniser detect the language.
include_words	boolean	Return every word with its timestamp. Off returns only the text, paragraphs and utterances.
duration_minutes	integer	Length of the recording in started minutes — this is what you are billed for. A longer file is refused with its real length and nothing is charged; a shorter one costs what you declared, and the answer says how much less it would have been.
confidence_threshold	number	Words below this confidence are listed separately as the passages worth checking.

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
