Step 1: Upload Your Audio Files to a Public GitHub Repository

• File Requirements: GitHub has a file size limit of 100MB so ensure your audio files are 100MB in size or less. The files must be in a public repository otherwise you will receive an error saying the file is not publicly accessible. For a more secure way to host files check out our Transcribing from an S3 Bucket Cookbook.

​

Step 2: Obtain the Raw Audio URL from GitHub

1. Navigate to the repository that houses the audio file.
2. Click on the audio file. On the next page, right-click the “View raw” link and select “copy the link address” from the context menu.

​

Step 3: Add the Audio URL to your Request

{
    "audio_url":"https://github.com/user/audio-files/raw/main/audio.mp3",
    "speech_models": ["universal-3-pro", "universal-2"]
}

config = aai.TranscriptionConfig(speech_models=["universal-3-pro", "universal-2"])
transcript = transcriber.transcribe("https://github.com/user/audio-files/raw/main/audio.mp3", config)

const transcript = await client.transcripts.transcribe({
  audio_url: "https://github.com/user/audio-files/raw/main/audio.mp3",
  speech_models: ["universal-3-pro", "universal-2"],
});
