# OPENAITRANSCRIPTION ## Overview The **OPENAITRANSCRIPTION** workflow application lets you interact with an OpenAI audio model to transcribe an audio file. ## How it works * The application sends the audio file to OpenAI to transcribe its content. * Application logs are available. These can be specified by setting the value of the `OpenAITranscriptionLogLevel` parameter in the `web.config` file to `0` to deactivate logs, `1` for error logs, `2` for information logs, or `3` for debug logs; the default value is `0`. ## Required parameter

Parameter	Type	Direction	Description
`FILE`	FILE	IN	The audio file to transcribe

## Optional parameters

Parameters	Type	Direction	Description
`API_KEY`	TEXT	IN	OpenAI API key By default, this value comes from the `OpenAiApiKey` parameter in the `web.config` file.
`URL`	TEXT	IN	API endpoint; defaults to `https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions`
`MODEL`	TEXT	IN	ID of the model to use; defaults to `whisper-1`
`TEMPERATURE`	NUMERIC	IN	Sampling temperature, between `0` and `1`; defaults to `1` Higher values (e.g. `0.8`) will make the output more random, while lower values (e.g. `0.2`) will make it more focused and deterministic.
`LANGUAGE`	TEXT	IN	The language of the input audio Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 format will improve accuracy and latency.
`PROMPT`	TEXT	IN	Optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment; the prompt should match the audio language
`VERBOSE_OUTPUT`	TEXT	IN	Specifies (`Y` or `N`) if the output should be verbose; defaults to `N`
`WORDS_OUTPUT`	TEXT	IN	Specifies (`Y` or `N`) if the verbose output should include detailed words; defaults to `N`
`RESULT_WORDS_SEPARATOR`	TEXT	IN	Separator used to separate the word list; defaults to `,` (comma)
`APP_RESPONSE_IGNORE_ERROR`	TEXT	IN	Specifies (`Y` or `N`) if errors should be ignored; defaults to `N` In case of error, if the parameter has `Y` as its value, the error will be ignored and defined OUT parameters (`APP_RESPONSE_STATUS` or `APP_RESPONSE_CONTENT`) will be mapped. Otherwise, an exception will be thrown.
`TEXT`	TEXT	OUT	The transcription text
`RESULT`	TEXT	OUT	The transcription result call
`RESULT_DURATION`	TEXT	OUT	Audio duration (only if verbose)
`RESULT_WORDS`	TEXT	OUT	Transcription words separated by `RESULT_WORDS_SEPARATOR` (only if word output and verbose enabled)
`RESULT_WORDS_COUNT`	NUMERIC	OUT	Transcription word count (only if word output and verbose enabled)
`RESULT_LANGUAGE`	TEXT	OUT	Transcription language (only if verbose)
`APP_RESPONSE_STATUS`	TEXT	OUT	Response status code
`APP_RESPONSE_CONTENT`	TEXT	OUT	Response payload or error message
