Can I use the /asr endpoint directly? All I get is a null response back.

I'm trying to directly use the /asr endpoint like I could with the whisper-asr-webservice, but all I get back is a response of null a couple seconds after sending the POST. The same request works fine when I change the port to the regular whisper-asr-webservice.

What’s your POST request? I have some of the parameters ignored because bazaar doesn’t use them.

[jacobstein123]

Just a simple POST to /asr:

curl --location 'http://<IP>:9002/asr?language=en' \
--form 'audio_file=@"/some/path/to/downloaded_audio.mp3"'

[McCloudS]

The problem is I expected (via Bazarr) to always be given a correctly sampled file at a 16000hz sample rate, so it fails. I'll see if I can fix it later. In the meantime, you would have to convert your file and pipe it into the call.
ffmpeg -i jfk.flac -ar 16000 -ac 1 -f wav - | curl --location 'http://192.168.1.111:9000/asr?language=en' \ --form 'audio_file=@-;type=audio/wav'

Ah I see, that makes sense. I'll play around with converting the audio file before hitting the endpoint.

Also, the /batch endpoint could work for your use case depending on the options you need to set.

I'll give that a try, thank you!

I did some light testing and have /asr endpoint now behaving correctly with encode (meaning, no pre-preparation of the file). I only tested a couple files and didn't have any issues. If you're still around, give it a shot.
