What is openai-whisper-api?

A tool that turns audio recordings into written text using OpenAI's Audio Transcriptions API, a cloud service for speech recognition.

Use it to create plain-text or JSON transcripts from audio files, optionally specifying a language or helpful speaker context.

It removes the need to type out recordings by hand, but requires an OpenAI API key and sends audio to the service.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00020	$0.00338
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00135
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00068
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00034

Security

Grade A, and why

openai-whisper-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/transcribe.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
