Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR-Flash-Filetrans/Fun-ASR recording Android SDK

File transcription Android SDK for Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR-Flash-Filetrans/Fun-ASR

User guide: Non-real-time speech recognition. For input requirements such as supported audio formats, file size limits, and duration limits, see Audio specifications.

Quick start

  1. Get an API key: Obtain an API key. For better security, store the API key in an environment variable.
  2. Download the SDK and run the sample code:
    • Download the latest SDK package.
    • Extract the ZIP package. Find the AAR-format SDK in the app/libs directory and add it to your project dependencies. For Android C++ integration, use android_libs and android_include in the ZIP package to get the dynamic libraries and header files.
    • Open the project in Android Studio. The sample code is in DashFunAsrFileTranscriberActivity.java. Replace the API key, then try out the feature.

Call procedure

  • Synchronous mode
  • Asynchronous mode
  1. Initialize the SDK.
  2. Configure the parameters that your business requires.
  3. Set async_request to false and call startFileTranscriber to submit a non-real-time speech recognition request and wait for the result.
  4. Listen for the EVENT_FILE_TRANS_RESULT event in the onFileTransEventCallback interface to get the final recognition result.
  5. Call release to release the SDK resources.

Request parameters

Connection and control parameters

Configure these parameters by passing a JSON string in the parameters argument of the initialize interface.
  • Parameter example: The following JSON string is an example and does not list every parameter. Add the parameters you need when you write your code:
{
    "url": "wss://maas.qwencloudapi.com/api/v1/services/audio/asr/transcription",
    "apikey": "st-****",
    "device_id": "my_device_id",
    "service_mode": "1"
}
  • Parameter description
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
urlStringYesThe endpoint. This is fixed at wss://maas.qwencloudapi.com/api/v1/services/audio/asr/transcription.
apikeyStringYesThe API key.
service_modeStringYesThe run mode. Fixed to "1" for recorded speech recognition.
device_idStringYesA unique string that identifies the end user. Set it to an in-app user ID or a device identifier generated by the client. This ID is mainly used for log tracing and troubleshooting.
debug_pathStringNoThe storage path for the log file.
This parameter takes effect only when save_log is set to true in the initialize interface. In that case, you must set the log file path, or an error is reported.
At most two log files are kept locally.
max_log_file_sizeintNoThe maximum size of the log file, in bytes.
This parameter takes effect only when save_log is set to true in the initialize interface.
Default: 104857600 (100 * 1024 * 1024 bytes, that is, 100 MiB).
log_track_levelintNoThe filter level for the log content sent through the log callback (onFileTransLogTrackCallback).
Default: 2.
Valid values:
  • 0: LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE
  • 1: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
  • 2: LOG_LEVEL_INFO
  • 3: LOG_LEVEL_WARNING
  • 4: LOG_LEVEL_ERROR
  • 5: LOG_LEVEL_NONE (turns off this feature)

Note: log_track_level and level (set through the initialize interface) together determine which logs are ultimately sent to the callback. A log is sent to the callback only when its level value is greater than or equal to both log_track_level and level. For example, if log_track_level is set to 2 (INFO) and level is set to 3 (WARNING), only logs at WARNING level or higher (value >= 3) are sent to the callback.

Speech recognition parameters

Configure all speech recognition parameters through the startFileTranscriber interface.
  • Parameter example: The following JSON string is an example and does not list every parameter. Add the parameters you need when you write your code:
{
    "apikey": "st-****",
    "file_urls": [
        "{YOUR_AUDIO_URL}"
    ],
    "async_request": false,
    "nls_config": {
        "model":"qwen-audio-3.0-asr-flash-filetrans",
        "diarization_enabled": false
    }
}
  • Parameter description
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
file_urlsarray[string]YesA list of URLs of the audio or video files to transcribe. HTTP and HTTPS are supported. A single request supports only one URL. For input requirements such as supported audio formats, file size limits, and duration limits, see Audio specifications.
If the recording is stored in Alibaba Cloud OSS, the RESTful API supports temporary URLs prefixed with oss://, whereas the SDK does not support oss://-prefixed temporary URLs.
  • A temporary URL is valid for 48 hours and cannot be used after it expires. Do not use it in production.
  • The upload credential interface is rate-limited to 100 QPS and cannot be scaled up. Do not use it in production, high-concurrency, or load-testing scenarios.
  • For production, use stable storage such as Alibaba Cloud OSS to keep files available long-term and avoid rate limiting.
  • If an audio file URL set to an OSS temporary public URL is unreachable, set X-DashScope-OssResourceResolve to enable in the request header (not recommended).

The SDK does not support configuring request headers.
async_requestbooleanNoWhether the recognition request is asynchronous.
Default: false.
Valid values:
  • true: asynchronous request
  • false: synchronous request
apikeystringNoIf the apikey in Connection and control parameters is a temporary API key, you can update it here to avoid expiration.
nls_configobjectYesThe core configuration object for speech recognition. It contains key parameters such as model selection and recognition control.
nls_config.modelstringYesThe model name. Supported values include the Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR-Flash-Filetrans and Fun-ASR model families. For details, see Supported models and regions.
nls_config.special_word_filterobjectNoThe sensitive words to process during speech recognition. You can set a different handling method for each sensitive word. For details, see Sensitive word filtering.
nls_config.channel_idarray[integer]NoThe index of the audio tracks to recognize in a multi-track audio file. The index starts at 0. For example, [0] recognizes the first track, and [0, 1] recognizes the first and second tracks at the same time. If you omit this parameter, only the first track is processed.
Each specified track is billed independently. For example, requesting [0, 1] for a single file incurs two separate charges.

Default value: [0].
nls_config.diarization_enabledbooleanNoWhether to enable speaker diarization. Disabled by default.
Applies only to mono audio. Multi-channel audio does not support speaker diarization.
When enabled, the recognition result includes a speaker_id field that distinguishes different speakers.
When speaker diarization is enabled, keep the audio duration within 2 hours. Otherwise, recognition may fail or time out.

Default: false.
For an example of speaker_id, see Recognition result description.
nls_config.speaker_countintegerNo
Takes effect only when speaker diarization is enabled (diarization_enabled is set to true).

A reference value for the number of speakers. The valid range is an integer from 2 to 100 (inclusive).
By default, the number of speakers is detected automatically. If you set this value, it only guides the algorithm to output the specified count when possible and does not guarantee that exact count.
No default value.
nls_config.vocabulary_idstringNoThe ID of a precompiled hot word list.
Generate this ID in advance by calling the create hot word list API. Pass the ID during recognition to use the hot words in the list.
Suitable for scenarios where the vocabulary is known and relatively stable, and where you need to reuse the same word list across requests.
For usage details, see Precompiled hotwords.
nls_config.input_contextarrayNoA list of messages containing optional conversation context to improve recognition accuracy.
Context helps improve recognition of domain-specific terms. For usage, see Context enhancement.
You can include up to 5 messages of each context type: input_text and text. If this limit is exceeded, only the most recent 5 messages of each type are retained. The combined length of the text fields in the user and assistant messages in each turn must not exceed 400 characters. Each character counts as 1. Excess text is truncated from the end.
When you include context, arrange messages by conversation turn. In each turn, the user message (input_text type) must precede the corresponding assistant message (text type). The user message containing input_audio must be the last message in the messages array.

See the example below this table.
nls_config.instant_vocabularyobjectNoInstant hotwords, passed as key-value pairs. Each key is the hotword text (string), and each value is its weight (integer). No precompiled hotword list is required. Use this parameter for temporary, session-level hotwords.
Valid weights are integers from 1 to 5, or 50. A higher weight from 1 to 5 makes the model more likely to output the hotword. A weight of 50 defines a super hotword and significantly improves recall. You can specify up to 50 super hotwords.
If you also configure precompiled hotwords, the two sets are merged. If the merged set exceeds 2000 hotwords, 2000 are selected at random. For usage, see Instant hotwords.
Only qwen-audio-3.0-asr-flash-filetrans supports instant hotwords.

See the example below this table.
nls_config.language_hintsarray[string]NoThe language codes to recognize. If you can't determine the language in advance, leave it unset and the model detects the language automatically.
For Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR-Flash-Filetrans models, you can set up to 4 values; any values beyond the first 4 are ignored. For Fun-ASR models, you can set only 1 value; if you set multiple, only the first takes effect.
