# Hermes Agent x OpenAI Transcription

OpenAI Transcription provides speech-to-text models for meeting notes, captions, searchable media, and multilingual transcripts. Both variants use the OpenAI-compatible audio transcription request shape.

## Public versions and endpoints

| Model ID | Version | Endpoints | Starting price |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `gpt-transcribe` | Multilingual speech-to-text with keyword and language hints | /v1/audio/transcriptions | $0.020 |
| `whisper-1` | Flexible audio transcription with subtitle and timestamp output | /v1/audio/transcriptions | $0.020 |

## Configuration

Select `<model-id>` before using a command. This page does not select a default model.
Set `RUNAPI_API_KEY`, then create a request with `<model-id>` at `<endpoint>`. Poll only when the endpoint returns an asynchronous Task.

```shell
export RUNAPI_API_KEY=your_api_key

curl -X POST https://runapi.ai<endpoint> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @request.json
```

POST <endpoint>. Verify the synchronous response matches the endpoint API reference.

## Additional operations


## How it works

1. **Choose a model ID.** Select a public catalog model ID and review its endpoint and current starting price.
2. **Configure RunAPI.** Set RUNAPI_API_KEY before making the endpoint request.
3. **Verify the result.** For asynchronous endpoints, poll the same endpoint until the Task reaches a terminal status.

## FAQ

### Which model ID should I use?

Choose a public model ID from the version table. Each ID exposes the endpoints shown for that version.

### Does this guide configure a chat model?

No. This Model Line uses the endpoint workflow shown here and is not presented as an agent chat model.
