# OpenAI STT pricing

> 3 STT model(s) from OpenAI, with the rate and where it came from.

Priced from `input_audio_kseconds`, US dollars per 1,000 seconds of input audio. Shown per minute, the unit vendors quote. Source of truth: [`prices/providers/openai.yml`](https://github.com/mahimailabs/voice-prices/blob/main/prices/providers/openai.yml).

| Model       | Name    | \$ / min |                                          Source | Last verified |

## Billed per audio token

These models bill audio as tokens rather than by the second, so they are not comparable to the table above.

| Model                    | Name                   | Audio in \$ / Mtok | Text in \$ / Mtok | Text out \$ / Mtok |                                     Source | Last verified |

| `gpt-4o-transcribe`      | gpt-4o-transcribe      |                \$6 |             \$2.5 |               \$10 | <Badge color="gray" size="sm">seed</Badge> |             - |

What `verified`, `imported`, and `seed` mean is on [How Fresh?](/how-fresh). A rate that looks wrong is worth [reporting](https://github.com/mahimailabs/voice-prices/issues/new?template=add-provider.yml).
