  update:
    description: >-
      Kotoba's batch transcription API. Submit an audio file and poll for the
      result — the simpler path when sub-second latency is not required. Part of
      the Kotoba speech platform alongside the ASR, STS and TTS realtime
      WebSocket channels described by the AsyncAPI documents.

      description: >-
        Asynchronous speech-to-text over a submit-and-poll job model. Supported
        input languages are en, ja, ko and zh; the default is ja.

      scheme: bearer
      description: >-
        HTTP Bearer authentication. Pass the Kotoba API key as a Bearer token in
        the Authorization header. Server-side use only — never embed a
        long-lived key in browser code. The Python SDK reads KOTOBA_API_KEY from
        the environment.
- target: $.paths['/v1/transcription_jobs'].post
  update:
    description: >-
      Submit an audio file for asynchronous transcription. Returns 202 with a
      job_id to poll. There is no idempotency key — resubmitting the same file
      creates a second job.
    x-apievangelist-idempotent: false
- target: $.paths['/v1/transcription_jobs/{job_id}'].get
  update:
    description: >-
      Fetch the transcription result for a job. Always returns HTTP 200 while
      the job exists — branch on the `state` discriminator (`done` or `error`)
      rather than on the status code. `segments` is present only when the
      submission set with_timestamps=true.
