Summary

Brings the speech-to-text docs in line with what POST /v1/asr returns today and makes transcribe-1-pro the primary, recommended model.

transcribe-1-pro first

  • Pro is listed first and labelled recommended in every model table and list (features, API reference, models overview, pricing, capabilities, agent quickstart, llms.txt).
  • Every example (Python, JavaScript, curl, MessagePack, cookbooks, agent skills, SDK reference snippets) sends model: transcribe-1-pro.
  • The docs now say that a missing or non-matching model header is served and billed as transcribe-1, so readers send the header explicitly. transcribe-1 details are kept as short notes.

Previously undocumented or wrong

  • Speaker turns. Pro returns speaker_turns ({speaker, text, start, end}) when timestamps are requested. The old pages said there was no speaker list.
  • New Pro request fields. diarize, the best-effort speaker-count hints num_speakers / min_speakers / max_speakers, and tag_audio_events.
  • Long recordings. Pro handles recordings up to 60 minutes in one request. This replaces the advice to split recordings into clips, which breaks speaker labels across requests.
  • Request ids. request_id in the body and the x-request-id header.
  • Errors. The error contract is {status, message, code, request_id}, with a status/code table and retry guidance.
  • Formats and limits. Accepted formats and limits are listed per model.
  • segments are word-level. Chinese and Japanese are split per character and segments carry no punctuation. The captions cookbook now groups words into readable SRT/VTT cues instead of writing one cue per word.
  • Language hint. It is a hint, not a forced language; language_code can fall back to it.
  • duration is in seconds. The SDK skill said milliseconds.
  • Timestamps latency. The "timestamps add latency under 30 s" rule did not exist and is removed.
  • Example fixes.
    • Timeouts:
      • The MessagePack example no longer uses httpx's default 5 s timeout.
      • Long-request examples use a 15-minute client timeout.
      • The pages document Node.js fetch's 5-minute header limit, with an undici@7 workaround.
    • The speaker-marker parser keeps text that appears before the first marker.
    • The batch recipe really does continue after a failed file.
  • Python SDK 1.3.0. The pages describe it honestly: it exposes text, duration and segments only. Raw HTTP is shown for the other fields until fix(asr): keep language, request_id and speaker_turns in ASRResponse fish-audio-python#165 is released.

Before merging

  • Merge chore: update OpenAPI schema #217 first (OpenAPI bot). Until then the "committed schema is current" check fails on every PR.
  • Do not merge Update Python SDK API Reference #112 as is. It regenerates the Python types page with duration in milliseconds; the source fix is in fix(asr): keep language, request_id and speaker_turns in ASRResponse fish-audio-python#165.
  • Verify one 60-minute recording live. Run a single transcribe-1-pro request end to end and time it at the client, to confirm the "up to 60 minutes" wording before publishing.
  • The OpenAPI panel stays stale until upstream ships. api-reference/openapi.json is a copy of the live schema and is not edited here. The auto-generated parameter panel on the API reference page keeps the old text until the upstream schema is updated. The MDX content is complete on its own.

Testing

  • Every changed Python and JavaScript example was run against a local mock of /v1/asr built from the service's behavior: multipart and msgpack, the model header, Pro-only field validation, and response and error shapes. Every request was served as transcribe-1-pro. The tests/cookbooks and tests/js harnesses also ran against the mock, and the block indices in specs.py / specs.mjs were updated.
  • Not yet run against the live API: the cookbook and JS harnesses need a FISH_API_KEY.
  • Checks:
    • Prettier. No regressions on touched files; three cookbook pages now pass.
    • mint broken-links. No new real broken links. The only new entries are relative links inside .mintlify/skills, the same false positive that is already in the baseline.
    • docs.json. Unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added guidance and examples for transcribe-1-pro, including speaker turns, long recordings, timestamps, and audio-event tagging. Pro must be selected with the exact model header; otherwise requests use and are billed as transcribe-1.
    • Added a caption recipe that generates both SRT and WebVTT files, plus expanded batch-transcription and voice-agent examples.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified audio limits, formats, response fields, timestamp units, error handling, retries, timeouts, and request IDs.
    • Updated migration guidance for speech-to-text capabilities and legacy timestamp behavior.
  • Tests
    • Expanded checks for caption output, transcription failures, and speaker-marker handling.

Speaker turns, diarize and speaker-count hints, tag_audio_events, request ids, per-model
formats and limits, hour-long Pro recordings, client timeouts, and the error contract.
Word-level segments, model-header fallback, per-model language behaviour, a parser that

Request fields per model, response fields (speaker_turns, request_id, language rules),

the observability page; ASR rows in errors and introduction.

Captions group word-level segments into readable SRT/VTT cues; the batch recipe records a
failed file and continues; language-hint wording matches the API. Test specs follow the
new block order.

duration is in seconds, timestamps have no 30 s latency rule, Pro is selected by header,
and the SDK skill says which fields 1.3.0 exposes and how to reach the rest over HTTP.

Pro capabilities and model-header fallback on the models page, ASR concurrency on the
pricing page, compat diarize note, and seconds (not milliseconds) in the legacy pages.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
transcribe-1-pro is listed first and recommended in every model table and list, and every
example (features, API reference, cookbooks, skills, SDK reference snippets, compat
pages) selects it with the model header. transcribe-1 details are condensed into short
notes. Long-recording guidance uses one timeout story: a 15-minute client timeout in the
examples and the Node.js fetch 5-minute limit with undici@7, without quoting SDK defaults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation now describes transcribe-1-pro selection, request and response behavior, errors, SDK usage, and transcription workflows. It also updates model and pricing guidance, migration references, legacy SDK timestamp details, and cookbook tests.

Changes

Speech-to-Text endpoint contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
ASR endpoint contract
.mintlify/skills/fish-audio-api/SKILL.md, api-reference/endpoint/openapi-v1/speech-to-text.mdx, features/speech-to-text.mdx, api-reference/errors.mdx, api-reference/introduction.mdx, api-reference/observability.mdx
The references document exact-header model selection and fallback, Pro request options, response fields, supported audio and limits, timeout guidance, request IDs, and model-specific errors and retry behavior.

SDK and transcription guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
SDK request and response guidance
.mintlify/skills/fish-audio-sdk/SKILL.md, .mintlify/skills/fish-audio-sdk/references/speech-to-text.md, api-reference/sdk/javascript/api-reference.mdx, api-reference/sdk/python/overview.mdx
The SDK guidance explains how to set the model header and timeout, describes available response fields and SDK limitations, and adds defensive error handling details.
Transcription cookbook workflows
developer-guide/sdk-guide/cookbook/batch-transcribe-with-language-hint.mdx, developer-guide/sdk-guide/cookbook/transcribe-to-captions.mdx, developer-guide/sdk-guide/cookbook/voice-agent-loop.mdx, tests/cookbooks/specs.py, tests/js/specs.mjs
The recipes select Pro. Batch examples collect per-file failures, caption examples group word segments into SRT and WebVTT cues, and voice-agent examples remove speaker markers before sending transcripts to the LLM. Tests check output files, cue timing, batch errors, and speaker-marker removal.

Model and migration references

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model, pricing, and migration guidance
developer-guide/models-pricing/*, developer-guide/compat/*, developer-guide/getting-started/migration.mdx, developer-guide/resources/agent-quickstart.mdx, llms.txt, overview/capabilities.mdx
The guides describe Pro capabilities and billing, model selection and fallback, account-wide concurrency guidance, and when to use the native Speech to Text API.
Legacy SDK timestamp guidance
archive/python-sdk-legacy/migration-guide.mdx, archive/python-sdk-legacy/speech-to-text.mdx
The legacy examples and reference clarify timestamp parameter requirements and seconds-based units, update language-hint and model-dependent limit guidance, and correct the documented error attribute.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: him188

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e2659

The JavaScript captions example currently writes WebVTT, but its new check would miss a format regression. Add a WebVTT-specific assertion; this is a bounded test gap rather than a demonstrated failure of the example.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e2659

The visible change is primarily documentation and example validation, with no demonstrated expansion of access or authority. Some newly documented options are absent from the published request schema, and deployed behavior was not independently verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The concrete test-entrypoint signals do not establish additional externally attackable scope. They select existing example blocks or validate their outputs rather than adding an API handler, credential source, or privilege grant.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The documented boundary accepts client-provided audio and request headers under bearer authentication. Model selection is documented as request routing, not as an authorization mechanism; the inspected sources do not establish a bypass of authentication.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The guidance separates platform and network-edge failures from transcription failures, so callers are explicitly told not to assume every error contains model-specific fields or even a JSON body.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Align the machine-readable request schema with the documented options so schema-derived client validation does not drift from the intended interface. This is a contract-maintenance proposal, not a finding that server-side validation is absent or bypassable.

Validate captions.vtt as WebVTT.

The vtt case is currently labeled "srt". The JavaScript harness only checks that an SRT file contains "-->", which also appears in WebVTT. A regression that writes SRT syntax to captions.vtt can therefore pass. Add a WebVTT header check and label the case as "vtt".
