OpenAI: GPT 4o Mini Transcribe

Transcription
openai/gpt-4o-mini-transcribe

GPT-4o Mini Transcribe is OpenAI's smaller, cost-efficient speech-to-text model, built on GPT-4o Mini audio capabilities and released on 2025-12-15. It takes audio input and returns transcribed text, and is billed per token for both input and output rather than per minute, which makes it a fit for high-volume transcription workflows that want token-level billing transparency at a lower cost point. Accessible via the OpenAI-compatible protocol through Ofox.
