This Skill provides a lightweight CLI wrapper for OpenAI’s Whisper audio transcription endpoint, enabling quick transcription of audio files via /v1/audio/transcriptions. It includes a transcribe.sh script that defaults to model whisper-1 and writes output to .txt, and supports flags for --model, --out, --language, --prompt, and --json for structured output. Configure credentials via OPENAI_API_KEY or ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and optionally set OPENAI_BASE_URL to route requests through an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway. Use cases include generating meeting transcripts, subtitles, accessibility captions, searchable indexes, and downstream NLP processing. Core advantages are simple CLI integration, flexible output formats (plain text or JSON), language and prompt customization, and compatibility with proxied or self-hosted OpenAI endpoints for secure or offline workflows.
