# Cohere Transcribe API

> 선택 가능한 14개 언어와 선택적 구두점 토글을 제공하는 음성-텍스트 모델

`audio_url`의 오디오(mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, webm, ogg 또는 flac)를 텍스트로 변환합니다. `language`는 en, fr, de, it, es, pt, el, nl, pl, zh, ja, ko, vi 또는 ar을 허용하며 기본값은 en입니다. `punctuation`은 끌 수 있고, `max_new_tokens`(1~1014)는 오디오 청크별 출력을 제한합니다.

- Model id: `cohere-transcribe`
- Made by: Cohere
- Category: Speech to Text
- Output: text
- Price per second of your input audio: $0.0000694 / second of input audio (cheapest run $0.001 (1 API credit))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/cohere-transcribe`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/cohere-transcribe`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/ko/developers/models/cohere-transcribe

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0000694 / second of input audio**. Price per second of your input audio: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.001 = 1 API credit (10 s input audio × $0.000069).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/cohere-transcribe` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `audio_url` | `audio` | string (audio URL) | yes |  |  | 전사를 위한 오디오 파일 URL입니다. flac, ogg, webm, wav, m4a, mpga, mpeg, mp4, mp3 형식을 지원합니다. |
| `language` |  | enum (string) | no | `en` | `en`, `fr`, `de`, `it`, `es`, `pt`, `el`, `nl`, `pl`, `zh`, `ja`, `ko`, `vi`, `ar` | 다음 ISO 639-1 코드 중 하나를 사용해 오디오의 언어를 식별합니다: en, fr, de, it, es, pt, el, nl, pl, zh, ja, ko, vi, ar. |
| `punctuation` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | 출력 텍스트에 대문자와 구두점을 포함할지 여부를 제어합니다. |
| `max_new_tokens` |  | integer | no | `256` | 1 – 1,014 | 각 오디오 청크의 토큰 생성 한도입니다. |

File parameters (`audio`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "audio": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/cohere-transcribe?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/cohere-transcribe?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/cohere-transcribe", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "cohere-transcribe",
      "input": {
        "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.

### Output fields (`output`)

| Field | Type | Description |
