What problem does it solve? Converting audio recordings into text usually requires cloud APIs, API keys, and per-minute costs. This Skill runs OpenAI's Whisper model entirely on your local machine, so you can transcribe or translate audio files offline with no API key and no data leaving your device. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Local Speech-to-Text: Transcribe audio files such as MP3 and M4A into plain text using the whisper CLI. - Translation: Use the --task translate option to translate foreign-language audio into English subtitles (SRT). - Model Size Control: Choose smaller models for speed or larger models for accuracy; models download once to ~/.cache/whisper. - Use Case: You recorded a one-hour meeting as an M4A file. Run Whisper locally to produce a text transcript and subtitle file without uploading the recording to any external service. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to transcribe a local audio file, for example: transcribe meeting.mp3 with Whisper using the medium model and save the output as a text file.
