Overview

The Audio Translation API translates speech in any of 24 supported languages to English text. This is the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/translations endpoint.

Unlike Speech to Text (which transcribes in the original language), this endpoint always outputs English.

Endpoint: POST /v1/audio/translations

Supported input languages: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Nepali, Konkani, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Sanskrit, Santali, Manipuri, Brij, Maithili, Dogri, English — plus auto-detection.

Basic Usage

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="cm_your_key",
    base_url="https://api.callmissed.com/v1"
)

# Translate Hindi audio to English text
with open("hindi_audio.wav", "rb") as f:
    translation = client.audio.translations.create(
        model="saaras:v3",
        file=f,
    )

print(translation.text)

Response:

{"text": "Hello, how are you? I wanted to discuss the project."}
