Input Example

{

  ],
  "language": "en",
  "includeTimestamps": true,
  "preserveFormatting": false,
  "returnSnippets": true,
  "returnTranscript": true,
  "separator": "\n",
}

Output

  "language": "English",
  "language_code": "en",
  "is_generated": false,
  "snippets": [
    {
      "text": "We're no strangers to love",
      "start": 0.0,
      "duration": 2.5
    },
    {
      "text": "You know the rules and so do I",
