# Running Whisper using DeepInfra

## Speech recognition made easy

[Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) is a Speech-To-Text model from
OpenAI.

Given an audio file with voice data it produces human speech recognition text
with per sentence timestamps. There are different model sizes (small, base,
large, etc.) and variants for English.

You can see all [speech recognition models](/models?type=automatic-speech-
recognition) that we currenly provide.

By default, Whisper produces by sentence timestamp segmentation. We also host
[whisper-timestamped](/openai/whisper-timestamped-medium) which can provide by
word timestamp segmentation.

Whisper is fully supported by our REST API and our Node.js client.

JavaScriptbash

    
    
    import { AutomaticSpeechRecognition } from "deepinfra";
    import path from "path";
    import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
    
    
    const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
    const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);
    
    const DEEPINFRA_API_KEY = "$DEEPINFRA_TOKEN";
    const MODEL = "openai/whisper-large";
    
    const main = async () => {
      const client = new AutomaticSpeechRecognition(MODEL, DEEPINFRA_API_KEY);
    
      const input = {
        audio: path.join(__dirname, "/home/user/audio.mp3"),
      };
      const response = await client.generate(input);
      console.log(response.text);
    };
    
    main();
    
    
    copy

You can pass audio formats like mp3 and wav.
