# whisper-remote-backend

FastAPI wrapper around the upstream `whisper` CLI from `openai/whisper`.

## Run

```bash
pip install -e .
uvicorn whisper_remote_backend.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

## API

`POST /transcriptions`

Multipart form fields:

- `file`: media file
- `model`: Whisper model name
- `language`: optional language code
- `output_format`: `txt`, `vtt`, `srt`, `tsv`, or `json`

The response body is the transcript artifact itself. The backend deletes the uploaded file and generated output after each request.
