Whisper Large V3

Whisper Large V3 is OpenAI's open-source automatic speech recognition model offering both audio transcription and translation.

Whisper Large V3 costs $0.00045 per minute of audio. This is the official price as of October 18, 2026, charged per use to your prepaid balance. The console always shows the current price.

Whisper Large V3 takes audio as input and produces a transcript.

Send requests to https://api.oceantoken.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions with the model ID openai/whisper-large-v3 and your OceanToken API key. The API is OpenAI-compatible, so an OpenAI SDK needs only the base URL https://api.oceantoken.ai/v1 and your key. The same OceanToken API key works for every model your account can use. Full reference: docs.oceantoken.ai.

OceanToken is prepaid. Open Credits in the console, choose an amount and pay by card on Stripe's hosted checkout page (Link works too; Alipay and WeChat Pay are not available). Each top-up is between $10 and $100,000, and your balance updates a few seconds after payment. Have a trial code? Redeem it on the same page.

Purchased credits are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Credits from trial codes, promotions or gifts may have a shorter validity. All purchases are final and non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund. Section 6 of the Terms of Service has the details.

Not if the request never ran: a request refused for an insufficient balance or by a safety check, or one whose provider fails before returning any output, is not charged. A video job that fails releases the amount it held. If a request breaks off after the model has started producing output, for example a stream cut off part-way, you pay for the tokens that were processed and generated for it.

There are two ways to buy. Pay-as-you-go is self-serve: sign up, add prepaid credits and use every model in the catalog at its official price. Enterprise customers get agreement pricing based on expected usage: email support@oceantoken.ai.
