Quick Start

Async Transcription

from soniox import SonioxClient

# Initialise client
client = SonioxClient(api_key="your-api-key")

# Transcribe from URL
transcription = client.transcriptions.create(
    audio_url="https://example.com/audio.mp3",
    model="stt-async-v3",
    enable_speaker_diarization=True,
)

# Wait for completion
result = client.transcriptions.wait_for_completion(transcription.id)
print(result.transcript.text)

Real-time Transcription

from soniox import SonioxRealtimeClient

# Initialise real-time client
client = SonioxRealtimeClient(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    model="stt-rt-v3",
)

# Stream audio
with client.stream() as stream:
    with open("audio.mp3", "rb") as f:
        while chunk := f.read(4096):
            stream.send_audio(chunk)

    # Receive tokens
    for response in stream:
        for token in response.tokens:
            if token.is_final:
                print(token.text, end="")

Async/Await Support

import asyncio
from soniox import AsyncSonioxClient

async def transcribe():
    async with AsyncSonioxClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
        file = await client.files.upload("audio.mp3")
        transcription = await client.transcriptions.create(file_id=file.id)
        result = await client.transcriptions.wait_for_completion(transcription.id)
        return result.transcript.text

text = asyncio.run(transcribe())
