OpenClaw + OpenAI Transcription Questions
What is the difference between Whisper-1 and GPT Transcribe?
Whisper-1 supports JSON, plain text, subtitle, verbose JSON, and timestamped output. GPT Transcribe focuses on JSON or plain text and accepts keyword and multiple-language hints.
Which audio files can I transcribe?
The endpoint accepts FLAC, MP3, MP4, MPEG, MPGA, M4A, OGG, WAV, and WebM uploads up to 25 MB.
Can the API create subtitles and word timestamps?
Whisper-1 can return SRT or VTT subtitles and word- or segment-level timestamps through verbose JSON. Those output modes are not available with GPT Transcribe.
Does GPT Transcribe support multilingual recordings?
Yes. You can provide one language hint or a list of likely languages, plus keyword hints for names and domain-specific terms.
Is audio transcription synchronous?
Yes. A successful request returns the completed transcript directly, without a separate task polling endpoint.
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.
