Speech to Text · Any Link or File
Pricing
from $3.00 / 1,000 audio minutes
Never charged for a link we can't reach, can't decode, or that has no speech. Any audio or video URL to text, SRT and VTT with timestamped segments — direct file links from any host, plus 11 tested sites. About 90 languages, no API key of your own.
You can access the Speech to Text · Any Link or File programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
