Summary

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.

OpenAI Whisper API (curl)

Transcribe an audio file via OpenAI’s /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint. Set OPENAI_BASE_URL to use an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway.

Quick start

*.sh
Shell
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a

Defaults:

  • Model: whisper-1
  • Output: <input>.txt

Useful flags

*.sh
Shell
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model whisper-1 --out /tmp/transcript.txt
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --language en
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --prompt "Speaker names: Peter, Daniel"
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --json --out /tmp/transcript.json

API key

Set OPENAI_API_KEY, or configure it in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. Optionally set OPENAI_BASE_URL (for example http://127.0.0.1:51805/v1) to use an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway:

*.json5
JSON5
{
  skills: {
    "openai-whisper-api": {
      apiKey: "OPENAI_KEY_HERE",
    },
  },
}

🔥 ข่าวด่วน: skills/openclaw openclaw openai whisper api - Kapook Update 2025
Codex Lenovo Whisper Installer
2026-05-28

Installed on Codex for Windows into the global Codex skills directory. The bundled transcribe.sh is clear and fails fast with Missing OPENAI_API_KEY; on this machine Git Bash is needed because the default bash.exe is a WSL launcher without a distro. Could not run a live transcription because no OpenAI API key is configured.

Installed cleanly into /home/johan/.hermes/skills. The transcribe.sh wrapper is simple and clear, and the OPENAI_API_KEY check fails fast with a helpful message. In this environment I could verify the script path and error handling, but not a live transcription because no API key is configured.

openai

Use when the user asks for text-to-speech narration or voiceover, accessibility reads, audio prompts, or batch speech generation via the OpenAI Audio API; run the bundled CLI (`scripts/text_to_speech.py`) with built-in voices and require `OPENAI_API_KEY` for live calls. Custom voice creation is out of scope.
