## Types

### SpeechToTextChunkResponseModel

Chunk-level detail of the transcription with timing information.

- `language_code` (string, required) — The detected language code (e.g. 'eng' for English).
- `language_probability` (double, required) — The confidence score of the language detection (0 to 1).
- `text` (string, required) — The raw text of the transcription.
- `words` (list of SpeechToTextWordResponseModel, required) — List of words with their timing information.
- `channel_index` (integer, optional, nullable) — The channel index this transcript belongs to (for multichannel audio).
- `additional_formats` (list of AdditionalFormatResponseModel, optional, nullable) — Requested additional formats of the transcript.
- `transcription_id` (string, optional, nullable) — The transcription ID of the response.
- `entities` (list of DetectedEntity, optional, nullable) — List of detected entities with their text, type, and character positions in the transcript.
- `audio_duration_secs` (double, optional, nullable) — The duration of the audio that was transcribed in seconds.
- `edited_transcript` (SpeechToTextChunkResponseModelEditedTranscript, optional, nullable) — Result of the optional transcript edit: the edited text, or an error if it could not be produced. Absent when no edit was requested.

### MultichannelSpeechToTextResponseModel

Response model for multichannel speech-to-text transcription.

- `transcripts` (list of SpeechToTextChunkResponseModel, required) — List of transcripts, one for each audio channel. Each transcript contains the text and word-level details for its respective channel.
- `transcription_id` (string, optional, nullable) — The transcription ID of the response.
- `audio_duration_secs` (double, optional, nullable) — The duration of the audio that was transcribed across all channels in seconds.

### ValidationError

- `loc` (list of ValidationErrorLocItems, required)
- `msg` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)

### SpeechToTextWordResponseModel

Word-level detail of the transcription with timing information.

- `text` (string, required) — The word or sound that was transcribed.
- `type` (enum, required) — The type of the word or sound. 'audio_event' is used for non-word sounds like laughter or footsteps.
  - Allowed values: `word`, `spacing`, `audio_event`
- `logprob` (double, required) — The log of the probability with which this word was predicted. Logprobs are in range [-infinity, 0], higher logprobs indicate a higher confidence the model has in its predictions.
- `start` (double, optional, nullable) — The start time of the word or sound in seconds.
- `end` (double, optional, nullable) — The end time of the word or sound in seconds.
- `speaker_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Unique identifier for the speaker of this word.
- `characters` (list of SpeechToTextCharacterResponseModel, optional, nullable) — The characters that make up the word and their timing information.
- `channel_index` (integer, optional, nullable) — The channel this word was spoken on (for multichannel audio). Null for single-channel transcriptions.

### AdditionalFormatResponseModel

- `requested_format` (string, required) — The requested format.
- `file_extension` (string, required) — The file extension of the additional format.
- `content_type` (string, required) — The content type of the additional format.
- `is_base64_encoded` (boolean, required) — Whether the content is base64 encoded.
- `content` (string, required) — The content of the additional format.

### DetectedEntity

An entity detected within transcribed text.

- `text` (string, required) — The text that was identified as an entity.
- `entity_type` (string, required) — The type of entity detected (e.g., 'credit_card', 'email_address', 'person_name').
- `start_char` (integer, required) — Start character position in the transcript text.
- `end_char` (integer, required) — End character position in the transcript text.

### SpeechToTextChunkResponseModelEditedTranscript

Result of the optional transcript edit: the edited text, or an error if it could not be produced. Absent when no edit was requested.

- `kind`: `error` (TranscriptEditError)
  - `error_type` ("edit_failed", required) — edit_failed: the edit could not be produced.
  - `message` (string, required) — A short, user-facing explanation of the failure.
- `kind`: `transcript` (EditedTranscript)
  - `edited_text` (string, required) — The edited transcript text. If no edits were made it will be identical to the `text` field.
  - `text` (string, required) — The committed transcript text the edit instruction was applied to.
  - `message_type` (string, optional, default: edited_transcript)

### ValidationErrorLocItems

### SpeechToTextCharacterResponseModel

- `text` (string, required) — The character that was transcribed.
