Arabic speech recognition and vision, as an API

What it does

• Arabic speech recognition

  Transcribes Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine, Maghrebi and Modern Standard Arabic. The Arabic model keeps its output in Arabic script, so calls and voice notes come back as searchable Arabic text.

• Documents and vision

  Photograph an invoice, an ID or a handwritten form and get clean JSON back in Arabic and English, with numbers exactly as written.

• Chat over text and images

  Gemma 4 VL 26B, tuned and served by BroadNet for Arabic and English, accepts text and images on the chat-completions endpoint and supports streaming.

Models and pricing

Every model runs on BroadNet hardware. Language models are priced per million tokens and transcription per minute of audio. These are the prices published on broadnet.ai/inference on 24 September 2026; the rate card there is the price of record.

Quickstart

Create a key on your account page and send it as a Bearer token. The chat-completions and audio-transcription request shapes are OpenAI-compatible, so the standard SDK works once you point it at the BroadNet base URL.

curl https://inference.broadnet.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BROADNET_API_KEY" \
  -F model=broadnet/cohere-transcribe-arabic \
  -F language=ar \
  -F file=@voice-note.wav

import base64, os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://inference.broadnet.ai/v1",
                api_key=os.environ["BROADNET_API_KEY"])

invoice = base64.b64encode(open("invoice.jpg", "rb").read()).decode()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="broadnet/gemma-4-26b-a4b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "text", "text": "ما هو المبلغ الإجمالي في هذه الفاتورة؟"},
        {"type": "image_url",
         "image_url": {"url": "data:image/jpeg;base64," + invoice}},
    ]}])
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
