Create translation

client.Audio.Translations.New(ctx, body) (*Translation, error)

POST/audio/translations

Translates audio into English.

ParametersExpand Collapse

body AudioTranslationNewParams

File param.Field[Reader]

The audio file object (not file name) translate, in one of these formats: flac, mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, ogg, wav, or webm. The request must include enough format metadata for the file to be identified. We recommend an extension-bearing filename and an appropriate content type.

Model param.Field[AudioModel]

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

Prompt param.Field[string]Optional

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

ResponseFormat param.Field[AudioTranslationNewParamsResponseFormat]Optional

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

Temperature param.Field[float64]Optional

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.
