## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability whisper-edge-audio-transcription-e7518cba -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you transcribe this audio clip for me? It's a 45-second voice recording of a meeting snippet — I need the full verbatim text plus timestamps for each spoken segment.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, pay-per-call audio transcription without account setup, especially for short clips (<=60s) where per-call micropayment via x402 on Base is acceptable. Prefer it over full-scale ASR services when you want no API key overhead and need segment timestamps alongside verbatim text. Avoid if your clip is longer than 60 seconds or involves copyright-protected material.

## Known failure modes

- Audio clip exceeds 60-second limit — request rejected or truncated
- Unsupported audio format — processing fails with an error
- Poor audio quality or heavy background noise — low-accuracy or garbled transcript
- Payment not fulfilled via x402 — call blocked before processing
- Copyright-protected audio submitted — usage policy violation (not enforced technically but flagged in terms)
- Network or edge worker timeout — no response returned
