Translations

Create translation

$ openai audio:translations create

post /audio/translations

Translates audio into English.

Parameters

  • --file: string

    The audio file object (not file name) translate, in one of these formats: flac, mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, ogg, wav, or webm.

  • --model: string or AudioModel

    ID of the model to use. Only whisper-1 (which is powered by our open source Whisper V2 model) is currently available.

  • --prompt: optional string

    An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. The prompt should be in English.

  • --response-format: optional "json" or "text" or "srt" or 2 more

    The format of the output, in one of these options: json, text, srt, verbose_json, or vtt.

  • --temperature: optional number

    The 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. If set to 0, the model will use log probability to automatically increase the temperature until certain thresholds are hit.

Returns

  • unnamed_schema_1: Translation or TranslationVerbose

    • translation: object { text }

      • text: string
    • translation_verbose: object { duration, language, text, segments }

      • duration: number

        The duration of the input audio.

      • language: string

        The language of the output translation (always english).

      • text: string

        The translated text.

      • segments: optional array of TranscriptionSegment

        Segments of the translated text and their corresponding details.

        • id: number

          Unique identifier of the segment.

        • avg_logprob: number

          Average logprob of the segment. If the value is lower than -1, consider the logprobs failed.

        • compression_ratio: number

          Compression ratio of the segment. If the value is greater than 2.4, consider the compression failed.

        • end: number

          End time of the segment in seconds.

        • no_speech_prob: number

          Probability of no speech in the segment. If the value is higher than 1.0 and the avg_logprob is below -1, consider this segment silent.

        • seek: number

          Seek offset of the segment.

        • start: number

          Start time of the segment in seconds.

        • temperature: number

          Temperature parameter used for generating the segment.

        • text: string

          Text content of the segment.

        • tokens: array of number

          Array of token IDs for the text content.

Example

openai audio:translations create \
  --api-key 'My API Key' \
  --file 'Example data' \
  --model whisper-1

Response

{
  "text": "text"
}
