What problem does it solve?
Users who need to convert audio files (such as meeting recordings, interviews, or podcasts) to text without paying for cloud speech-to-text services or sharing sensitive audio data with third parties can use this skill to run transcription entirely on their local device at no cost.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Local Private Transcription: Run speech-to-text entirely on your device, no audio data leaves your machine, no API keys required.
- Multi-format & Task Support: Transcribe common audio formats like MP3, M4A, and WAV, with options for translating audio to English and exporting subtitles in SRT format.
- Use Case: A researcher can transcribe hours of sensitive interview recordings locally to avoid sending participant data to external cloud services.
Quick Start
Use the openai-whisper skill to transcribe the audio file 'team-meeting-recording.mp3' to a plain text file saved in your current working directory.
