Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. It was trained on 680k hours of labelled data and demonstrates a strong ability to generalize to many datasets and domains without fine-tuning.  The model is based on a Transformer encoder-decoder architecture.  Whisper models are available for various languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and many more.

You can use cURL or any other http client to run inferences:

```bash
curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: bearer $(deepctl auth token)"  \
    -F audio=@my_voice.mp3  \
    'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/openai/whisper-base'
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json
{
  "text": "",
  "segments": [
    {
      "id": 0,
      "text": "Hello",
      "start": 0.0,
      "end": 1.0
    },
    {
      "id": 1,
      "text": "World",
      "start": 4.0,
      "end": 5.0
    }
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "request_id": null,
  "inference_status": {
    "status": "unknown",
    "runtime_ms": 0,
    "cost": 0.0,
    "tokens_generated": 0,
    "tokens_input": 0
  }
}

```


You can use our command-line tool [deepctl](/docs/getting-started) to run
inferences:

```bash
deepctl infer \
    -m 'openai/whisper-base'  \
    -i audio=@my_voice.mp3
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json
{
  "text": "",
  "segments": [
    {
      "id": 0,
      "text": "Hello",
      "start": 0.0,
      "end": 1.0
    },
    {
      "id": 1,
      "text": "World",
      "start": 4.0,
      "end": 5.0
    }
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "request_id": null,
  "inference_status": {
    "status": "unknown",
    "runtime_ms": 0,
    "cost": 0.0,
    "tokens_generated": 0,
    "tokens_input": 0
  }
}

```
