v1.0.0

Transcribe non-realtime speech with Alibaba Cloud Model Studio Qwen ASR models (`qwen3-asr-flash`, `qwen-audio-asr`, `qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans`). Use when converting recorded audio files to text, generating transcripts with timestamps, or documenting DashScope/OpenAI-compatible ASR request and resp...

Model Studio Qwen ASR (Non-Realtime)

Validation

mkdir -p output/alicloud-ai-audio-asr
python -m py_compile skills/ai/audio/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/scripts/transcribe_audio.py && echo "py_compile_ok" > output/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

  • Store transcripts and API responses under output/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/.
  • Keep one command log or sample response per run.

Use Qwen ASR for recorded audio transcription (non-realtime), including short audio sync calls and long audio async jobs.

Critical model names

Use one of these exact model strings: - qwen3-asr-flash - qwen-audio-asr - qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans

Selection guidance: - Use qwen3-asr-flash or qwen-audio-asr for short/normal recordings (sync). - Use qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans for long-file transcription (async task workflow).

Prerequisites

  • Install SDK dependencies (script uses Python stdlib only):
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
  • Set DASHSCOPE_API_KEY in environment, or add dashscope_api_key to ~/.alibabacloud/credentials.

Normalized interface (asr.transcribe)

Request

  • audio (string, required): public URL or local file path.
  • model (string, optional): default qwen3-asr-flash.
  • language_hints (array, optional): e.g. zh, en.
  • sample_rate (number, optional)
  • vocabulary_id (string, optional)
  • disfluency_removal_enabled (bool, optional)
  • timestamp_granularities (array, optional): e.g. sentence.
  • async (bool, optional): default false for sync models, true for qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans.

Response

  • text (string): normalized transcript text.
  • task_id (string, optional): present for async submission.
  • status (string): SUCCEEDED or submission status.
  • raw (object): original API response.

Quick start (official HTTP API)

Sync transcription (OpenAI-compatible protocol):

curl -sS --location 'https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1/chat/completions' 
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" 
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  --data '{
    "model": "qwen3-asr-flash",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
          {
            "type": "input_audio",
            "input_audio": {
              "data": "https://dashscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/audios/welcome.mp3"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "stream": false,
    "asr_options": {
      "enable_itn": false
    }
  }'

Async long-file transcription (DashScope protocol):

curl -sS --location 'https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/audio/asr/transcription' 
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" 
  --header 'X-DashScope-Async: enable' 
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  --data '{
    "model": "qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans",
    "input": {
      "file_url": "https://dashscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/audios/welcome.mp3"
    }
  }'

Poll task result:

curl -sS --location "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/<task_id>" 
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"

Local helper script

Use the bundled script for URL/local-file input and optional async polling:

python skills/ai/audio/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/scripts/transcribe_audio.py 
  --audio "https://dashscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/audios/welcome.mp3" 
  --model qwen3-asr-flash 
  --language-hints zh,en 
  --print-response

Long-file mode:

python skills/ai/audio/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/scripts/transcribe_audio.py 
  --audio "https://dashscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/audios/welcome.mp3" 
  --model qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans 
  --async 
  --wait

Operational guidance

  • For local files, use input_audio.data (data URI) when direct URL is unavailable.
  • Keep language_hints minimal to reduce recognition ambiguity.
  • For async tasks, use 5-20s polling interval with max retry guard.
  • Save normalized outputs under output/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/transcripts/.

Output location

  • Default output: output/alicloud-ai-audio-asr/transcripts/
  • Override base dir with OUTPUT_DIR.

Workflow

1) Confirm user intent, region, identifiers, and whether the operation is read-only or mutating. 2) Run one minimal read-only query first to verify connectivity and permissions. 3) Execute the target operation with explicit parameters and bounded scope. 4) Verify results and save output/evidence files.
