Summarization

Summarization generates concise summaries of transcribed content using AI intelligence. You can summarize audio during transcription or apply it to existing text transcripts. Summary length can be controlled using an optional parameter.

How to Enable

"enable_summarization": "true"

During Transcription

Parameters

• enable_summarization (required): Set to "true"
• summary_max_length (optional): Maximum summary length in characters

Request

import requests

url = "https://tb2.shunyalabs.ai/v1/transcriptions"
headers = {"X-API-Key": "your-api-key"}

with open("team_meeting.wav", "rb") as f:
    files = {"file": f}
    data = {
        "enable_summarization": "true",
        "summary_max_length": "200"  # optional
    }

response = requests.post(
    url,
    headers=headers,
    files=files,
    data=data
)

print(response.json())

Standalone Summarization

Parameters

    "summary_max_length": "200"  # optional
}
