Transcriwise
Multi-Provider Transcription API

Transcribe with the best speech engines. Deliver results that are ready to use.

Integrate once and combine Whisper, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Soniox, ElevenLabs, Gladia, Voxtral, iFlytek and Alibaba Qwen in a single infrastructure layer. Start with competitive raw transcription, scale with confidence and, when the job calls for more, turn audio into documents, templates, summaries and automations ready to move forward.

POST /api/v1/transcribe

curl -X POST \
  https://api.transcriwise.com/api/v1/transcribe \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tw_..." \
  -F "file=@audio.mp3" \
  -F "mode=APOSTILA" \

Example based on the implemented public endpoint. Replace the key, file, and webhook.

01

Create the key

Generate a key with the required scope in the developer panel.

02

Upload the file

Use multipart/form-data on the transcription endpoint.

03

Receive the webhook

Provide a public URL for the asynchronous callback.

04

Read the result

Use the job_id for status and artifacts allowed by the plan.

Why use it

Integrate once. Choose the path by context, not trial and error.

One unified API normalizes authentication and responses across enabled providers without requiring a different key for each call.

No vendor lock-in

The autorouter considers language, cost, capabilities, and currently enabled providers. Pin an exact provider when the plan includes that feature.

The premium lives in the final delivery

V1 keeps charging per audio hour for raw output. V2, templates, enrichment and professional documents live in a separate layer, where customers perceive more value.

Scale, governance and compliance

Webhooks, diarization, code-switching in compatible flows, cost caps, and an enterprise track with BYO Keys, LGPD controls, priority support, and dedicated regions.

API features

Everything you need in a single endpoint.

From raw transcription to professional documents, with AI add-ons and export in multiple formats.

Batch and live transcription

Record and upload, or transcribe in real time over WebSocket. Multiple providers support live with autorouter and pinning.

Routing and availability

The autorouter considers language, cost, capabilities, and providers enabled at call time.

Speaker diarization

Know who said what when the selected provider and lane support diarization.

Code-switching (language switching)

Recognizes when the speaker changes language mid-sentence. Soniox, Gladia and AssemblyAI.

Simultaneous translation

Soniox: two-way translation in 60+ languages. iFlytek: Chinese→English with TTS.

Professional documents (v2)

Generate minutes, legal drafts, expert reports, meeting notes and more — billed per document.

Summary, mind map and chat

Executive summary, mind map, flashcards, quiz and chat over the transcript.

DOCX, PDF and SRT export

Export with a visual template, generate SRT/VTT captions, and apply custom templates.

Webhooks and callback

Get a POST when the job completes or fails. No polling.

BYO Keys

Use your own provider key. Costs go straight to your provider account on the Enterprise track.

Normalized payload + raw

Standardized response by default. Raw provider JSON with include_raw=true.

Cost caps and rate limits

Automatic protection against accidental usage. Configurable per plan.

V2 Documents

From audio to a finished document in 4 steps.

Pick the document type, apply your template, refine with AI and generate study material — all via API.

Document type

Choose the format you need: meeting minutes, legal drafts, expert reports, lecture notes, podcasts, interviews and more. The AI formats it automatically.

Custom template

Use a saved template from your library to standardize style, sections and instructions. Ideal for recurring documents without reconfiguring everything.

AI refinement

After generating the document, apply a second pass to condense, reformat or adapt the final result to the context you need.

Study material

Generate an executive summary, mind map, glossary, flashcards, exercises and quizzes from the same content.

Plans

The API ships with Pro. Or use it without the app.

Transcriwise users get API access from Pro up. If you only need the API, you can start free with the Sandbox and scale with PAYG.

API included in the current app

The API is available from Pro up. Transcription uses your plan quota. Professional documents are available on the higher plans.

Hourly pricing (transcription)

Automatic routing considers language, cost, capabilities, and availability. When the plan allows it, you can pin a provider and use its specific table; app plans use their respective quotas.

To generate professional documents (minutes, legal drafts, expert reports), use the documents API with per-document pricing.

Coverage

Autorouter and provider pinning are different capabilities.

The autorouter uses providers enabled for Batch or Live. Explicit provider and model selection requires provider pinning; throughput, documents, support, and infrastructure also vary by plan.

Catalog in autorouter; pinning according to plan

  • Whisper V3 Turbo and Large V3
  • AssemblyAI (U-2 and U-3 Pro)
  • Deepgram Nova-3
  • ElevenLabs Scribe v2
  • Soniox v4 (batch and live)
  • Gladia (batch and live)
  • Voxtral (Mistral)
  • iFlytek (batch and live, zh→en translation)
  • Alibaba Qwen3-ASR, Paraformer-v2, SenseVoice

What changes per plan

  • Sandbox: autorouter only (provider=auto)
  • Build+: autorouter + provider pinning + webhooks
  • Scale+: everything in Build + v2 documents + priority support
  • Enterprise: BYO Keys, SLA, dedicated regions and custom lanes

App + API

Two experiences, one infrastructure.

The app sells delivered work: transcription, review, formatting and the final document. The API sells raw integration with the same infrastructure and the same provider catalog. Both share the same pipeline; what changes is the level of delivery.
Routing by use case

The right provider for every situation.

Recordings: Soniox and Gladia for multilingual flows. Whisper and Voxtral for batch processing. Deepgram for specialized profiles. iFlytek and Alibaba for Chinese.

Live: Soniox for captions and simultaneous translation. Gladia for multilingual meetings with code-switching. Deepgram for live-audio profiles. iFlytek for Chinese→English in real time.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before integrating.

Straight answers about providers, pricing, formats and scalability.

Can I choose the provider?

Use the autorouter to select among enabled providers. Pinning an exact provider or model requires that plan feature; throughput, v2 documents, and support also vary.

Does the response include the provider raw data?

By default, no — the response is normalized and lightweight. Add include_raw=true to receive the full provider JSON when you need detailed timestamps or specific fields.

Can I generate formatted documents via the API?

Yes. The transcription API (v1) charges per audio hour. The documents API (v2) uses the same smart formatting pipeline as the app on top of the raw transcript and generates minutes, legal drafts, expert reports, study guides, fidelity and other professional documents, billed per document. Fixed-format professional documents start at US$ 0,50/doc; long-form content (lecture, study, webinar, simulation, fidelity) uses audio-duration brackets (US$ 1,99 up to 30 min, US$ 3,99 up to 60 min, US$ 7,99 up to 120 min, US$ 15,99 up to 240 min). Only need the text? raw_transcript (transcript only, no AI formatting) costs about half: from US$ 0,99. In the same request you can add enrichment/study material such as executive summary, mind map, glossary and exercises.

What is the best provider for Brazilian Portuguese?

Soniox v4 supports multilingual transcription and automatic language switching. AssemblyAI U-3 Pro adds advanced speaker identification. The autorouter considers language, context, and availability when selecting a path.

Can I use my own provider key?

Yes. With BYO Keys you register your AssemblyAI, Deepgram, Soniox, ElevenLabs, Gladia, Voxtral or other key — costs go straight to your provider account. This feature lives on the Enterprise/API Enterprise track.

Get started

Start free with the Sandbox. Scale when you need to.

Start in the Sandbox if you only want V1 raw. Use Build for early production. If you are already in the app, Pro is the most efficient way to integrate without buying another stack. Move up to Business, Scale or Enterprise when the bottleneck becomes throughput, support, documents or governance.
