Whisper is a general-purpose speech recognition model. It is trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and is also a multi-task model that can perform multilingual speech recognition as well as speech translation and language identification.

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-large'
```

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-large'  \
    -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
  }
}

```
