voice-transcribe

transcribe audio files using openai's gpt-4o-mini-transcribe model.

when to use

when receiving voice memos (especially via whatsapp), just run:

uv run /Users/darin/clawd/skills/voice-transcribe/transcribe <audio-file>

then respond based on the transcribed content.

fixing transcription errors

if darin says a word was transcribed wrong, add it to vocab.txt (for hints) or replacements.txt (for guaranteed fix). see sections below.

supported formats

• mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, webm, ogg, opus

examples

# transcribe a voice memo
transcribe /tmp/voice-memo.ogg

# pipe to other tools
transcribe /tmp/memo.ogg | pbcopy

setup

1. add your openai api key to /Users/darin/clawd/skills/voice-transcribe/.env:

```

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

```

custom vocabulary

add words to vocab.txt (one per line) to help the model recognize names/jargon:

Clawdis
Clawdbot

text replacements

if the model still gets something wrong, add a replacement to replacements.txt:

wrong spelling -> correct spelling

notes

• assumes english (no language detection)
• uses gpt-4o-mini-transcribe model specifically
• caches by sha256 of audio file
