# 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

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

Request

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

Output location

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.
