Where to Use Whisper Tiny

Transcription
Convert calls, meetings, and media into accurate, searchable text.

Captioning and indexing
Generate subtitles and make audio archives searchable.

Use cases

Whisper Tiny is a speech-to-text model that takes audio as input and produces text output. It is used for audio transcription, including converting spoken content into written text.

It can be used for captioning and subtitles, where audio from videos, meetings, or live recordings is turned into readable text. It also fits voice-note or voicemail transcription workflows that need speech converted into text for later reading or search.

Because it is a speech-to-text model, it can support call-center or interview transcription pipelines that store spoken audio as text records. It can also be used to create text transcripts for archive, review, or accessibility purposes.

How to use Whisper Tiny API

Install any OpenAI-compatible SDK, point it at api.aimlapi.com/v1, and set the model to deepgram/whisper-tiny.
import requests, time

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + AIMLAPI_KEY}
job = requests.post(
    "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/stt/create",
    headers=headers,
    json={
      "model": "deepgram/whisper-tiny",
      "url": "https://example.com/audio.mp3"
    },
).json()
gid = job["generation_id"]

while True:
    res = requests.get(f"https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/stt/{gid}", headers=headers).json()
    if res.get("status") in ("completed", "error", "failed"):
        break
    time.sleep(3)
print(res)
const headers = {
  Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.AIMLAPI_KEY}`,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};
const job = await (await fetch("https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/stt/create", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "deepgram/whisper-tiny",
    "url": "https://example.com/audio.mp3"
  }),
})).json();

let res;
do {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 3000));
  res = await (await fetch(`https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/stt/${job.generation_id}`, { headers })).json();
} while (!["completed", "error", "failed"].includes(res.status));
console.log(res);
# submit the job — the response contains "generation_id"
curl -X POST https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/stt/create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIMLAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"deepgram/whisper-tiny","url":"https://example.com/audio.mp3"}'

# then poll for the result until it is ready
curl "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/stt/{generation_id}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIMLAPI_KEY"

OpenAI-compatible — swap the base URL and it works with your existing SDK.
