​​ Response

Automatic speech recognition responses return both a single string text property with the audio transcription and an optional array of words with start and end timestamps if the model supports that.

Here’s an example of the output from the @cf/openai/whisper model:

{
"text": "It is a good day",
"word_count": 5,
"words": [
{
"word": "It",
"start": 0.5600000023841858,
"end": 1
},
{
"word": "is",
"start": 1,
"end": 1.100000023841858
},
{
"word": "a",
"start": 1.100000023841858,
"end": 1.2200000286102295
},
{
"word": "good",
"start": 1.2200000286102295,
"end": 1.3200000524520874
},
{
"word": "day",
"start": 1.3200000524520874,
