Why selected
The feature is practical, but initial support only for base64 input may be less convenient than direct file upload.
AI commentary
「This update is worth noting, especially for teams building voice apps who want to avoid vendor lock-in. OpenRouter's unified routing reduces model selection and deployment complexity, and it's likely to add more multimodal capabilities soon. If you're an indie developer or a small SaaS team, this could become a handy addition to your toolkit.」
Quick overview
OpenRouter has added an audio transcription feature, accessible via a single POST endpoint /api/v1/audio/transcriptions. Developers send base64-encoded audio and receive JSON text plus usage data. This lowers the barrier for integrating speech recognition, eliminating the need to manage multiple models. It currently supports common audio formats, with potential expansion to more languages and models.
- New POST /api/v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint for audio transcription.
- Input: base64-encoded audio; Output: JSON text with usage object.
- Unified API reduces complexity of managing multiple speech-to-text models.
