# OpenAI transcriptions API
Transcribe audio through `/v1/audio/transcriptions`. Set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` for an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway.
## Quick start
```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a
```
Defaults:
- Model: `gpt-4o-transcribe`
- Output: `<input>.txt`
## Useful flags
```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-transcribe --out /tmp/transcript.txt
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-mini-transcribe
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize --json
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model whisper-1
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --language en
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --prompt "Speaker names: Peter, Daniel"
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --json --out /tmp/transcript.json
```
Notes:
- Supported upload formats include `mp3`, `mp4`, `mpeg`, `mpga`, `m4a`, `wav`, `webm`.
- 25 MB upload limit on the hosted API.
- Use diarize for speaker labels; script sends `chunking_strategy=auto` and rejects `--prompt`.
## API key
Set `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or configure it in the active OpenClaw config file (`$OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH`, default `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`). Optionally set `OPENAI_BASE_URL`:
```json5
{
skills: {
"openai-whisper-api": {
apiKey: "OPENAI_KEY_HERE",
},
},
}
```
