What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the tedious process of converting raw qualitative data, such as audio interview recordings and PDF documents, into clean, analyzable markdown files. It intelligently selects the best conversion tool based on availability and document complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Audio Transcription: Transcribe interview recordings into markdown using Markdownify.
• PDF Conversion: Convert PDFs to markdown, leveraging MinerU for complex documents (tables, figures) or Markdownify for simpler ones.
• Batch Processing: Process multiple audio files or documents efficiently, organizing outputs and tracking data sources.
• Use Case: You have 10 audio interviews and 5 academic papers in PDF format. Use this skill to automatically transcribe all interviews and convert all PDFs into markdown, ready for coding.

Quick Start

To transcribe an audio file, use Markdownify audio-to-markdown on /path/to/interview.mp3. The output will be interview.md with the transcript.
