Affordable transcription API with speaker diarization. Send an audio URL. Get back a diarized, speaker-labeled transcript. Proven on earnings calls and long meetings, where many voices share one line.
Overview
JOBE Vox is a transcription API that labels who spoke and when. You send it a link to an audio file and it hands back a transcript where every speaker turn carries a timestamp. Speaker diarization comes with the job, not as an add-on.
Features
- Speaker labels included: Every transcript comes back with speaker labels at no extra fee. Names are inferred from the audio when possible.
- Timestamps per turn: Each speaker turn gets a timestamp, so you can jump straight to the moment something was said. Not word level, turn level.
- Built for hard audio: Made for conference lines, crosstalk, financial jargon and a dozen voices on one call.
- One request, no upload: Point Vox at a public or signed URL. The file is probed, priced and queued, and you poll the job until the transcript is ready.
Pricing
The $0.50 pack is about 6h 15m of audio. Payments go through Stripe and Vox never sees your full card number. Credit is non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise, and free trial credit is available on request, reviewed case by case.
Who It's For
It grew out of earnings call transcription for StockCast, a product of JOBE Works, which runs about 180 hours of earnings-call audio per quarter with analysts, executives and operators on noisy lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to upload the audio file?
No. You give Vox a public or signed URL and it reads the file from there. The response returns the job, its duration and its price, and GET /api/v1/jobs/<job_id> returns the transcript once the status is done.
What audio formats and lengths can I send?
MP3, WAV, M4A and Opus, up to 2 hours per recording. Vox handles English, Portuguese, Spanish and 100+ more languages.
How do I get an API key?
Sign in with Google and create a key on the API keys page. The key is shown only once, so keep it somewhere safe and revoke it if you think it has been exposed.
Can I try it before paying?
Free trial credit is available on request. Each request is reviewed case by case and granted once, in an amount based on what you tell them about your use case, average file length and expected monthly volume.
What happens if a job fails?
You are not charged for it. The price is shown before every job starts, and billing runs by the second of audio at the rate in effect when you submit.
