# 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

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
