openai/whisper-base

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.

HTTP/cURL API

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

curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: bearer $DEEPINFRA_TOKEN"  \
    -F audio=@my_voice.mp3  \
    'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/openai/whisper-base'

which will give you back something similar to:
