The Nexara Transcription API allows you to specify the format in which you want to receive the transcription results. By using the response_format parameter in your request, you can tailor the output to best suit your needs, whether you require simple text, structured data, or ready-to-use subtitle files. Choosing srt or vtt provides more than timed text; these formats deliver beautifully crafted subtitles, automatically optimized for comfortable on-screen reading and pacing. Refer to the API Documentation for examples. The API supports the following output formats:
  • json: Returns a standard JSON object containing the transcribed text.
  • text: Returns the transcription as a single plain text string.
  • verbose_json: Returns a detailed JSON object containing the text, language, duration, and potentially segment and word-level timestamps (if requested via timestamp_granularities[]).
  • srt: Returns the transcription formatted as an SRT subtitle file.
  • vtt: Returns the transcription formatted as a WebVTT subtitle file.
When getting an answer in the subtitle format (srt or vtt), do not use response.text if using python’s request library. Use response.json instead.
