## Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Help me use Scribe Speech-to-Text (tool ID: elevenlabs.scribe-speech-to-text). Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

Provider access is included. If your agent isn't connected to Scrollport yet, it will help you set that up.

## Questions

**Is Scribe Speech-to-Text by ElevenLabs free?**

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0052 per minute, paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

**Do I need an API key from ElevenLabs?**

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to ElevenLabs, so you don't sign up with ElevenLabs or manage an API key.

## Details

**About this tool**

Supply a public HTTPS audio/video URL or a signed workspace-file URL and its expected duration in minutes. Scribe v2 is the default; v1 is available. Language is detected automatically unless specified. Optional speaker labels and word timestamps are included in the base rate. Keyterms, entity detection and non-verbatim mode require v2. Keyterm prompting and entity detection each select a higher per-minute rate; inspect the quote before running. Billing uses actual transcribed seconds, not processing time. Round expected_duration_minutes up if uncertain; it does not trim the file. A transcript that exceeds the quoted duration is rejected without charging your wallet. Files must be under 2 GB and no longer than 600 minutes. Character timestamps, multichannel transcription, webhooks and account-level speaker libraries are not included.

**All inputs and outputs**

### Input

`audio_url` string · required

Public HTTPS audio/video URL or signed workspace file URL; maximum file size 2 GB.

format: uri · maxLength: 8192

`diarize` boolean · optional

`entity_detection` boolean · optional

Detect entities in the transcript. Adds to the per-minute rate.

`expected_duration_minutes` number · required

Audio length in minutes, rounded up if uncertain. Sizes the quote; does not trim the file. Settlement uses actual audio duration.

minimum: 0.001 · maximum: 600

`keyterms` array · optional

Optional domain terms. A nonempty list adds to the per-minute rate.

maxItems: 100

`language_code` string · optional

minLength: 2 · maxLength: 8

`model_id` string · optional

enum: scribe_v2, scribe_v1

`no_verbatim` boolean · optional

`num_speakers` integer · optional

minimum: 1 · maximum: 32

`tag_audio_events` boolean · optional

`timestamps_granularity` string · optional

enum: none, word

### Output

`duration_seconds` number

Length of the media in seconds.

`entities` array

`language_code` string

`language_probability` number

`text` string

`words` array

**Errors and limits**

- `audio_duration_exceeded`: The audio was longer than expected_duration_minutes; the wallet was not charged.Check the full audio length and request a new quote with enough minutes.
- `invalid_input`: Use a reachable HTTPS audio/video URL and supported options.Check file size, signed-link expiry and the expected duration.
