transcribing-audio

transcribing-audio is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from olegvg/olegvg-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for turning audio recordings into text with timestamps and speaker labels, using local speech recognition and speaker separation. Speaker labels identify voices by labels, not by assumed names.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for readable transcripts, speaker-labelled JSON, subtitles, or word-level timestamps from recordings.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to transcribe meetings, interviews, calls, or voice notes while keeping audio local unless cloud upload is explicitly approved.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

transcribing-audio scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Transcribing Audio

Safety and privacy

  • Resolve the input and output paths without copying audio into the repository.
  • Keep audio local by default. Never infer permission to upload it: before OpenAI mode, explain that audio chunks leave the machine and obtain explicit consent.
  • Never print dotenv values or commit audio, transcripts, runtime state, or model caches.
  • Treat raw diarization labels as labels, not identities. Apply --speaker-names only after diarization returns those raw labels.

Choose the mode

  • Use local ASR when the user requires local processing or has not explicitly approved an upload.
  • Use OpenAI ASR only after explicit consent. Every TTY run asks for local/OpenAI even when --mode supplies a default; a non-TTY OpenAI run requires --allow-cloud-upload.
  • Select --speakers N for an exact count, --min-speakers with optional --max-speakers for a range, or omit speaker flags for automatic diarization.

Run the pipeline

Set SKILL_DIR from the absolute directory containing this loaded SKILL.md; do not derive it from the shell working directory or $0.

SKILL_DIR="<absolute path to this skill directory>"
"$SKILL_DIR/../../scripts/transcribe_audio.py" --help

Run the launcher from that resolved path. Use --resume after an interruption; it validates and reuses prior committed stages. Canonical JSON is authoritative; TXT, SRT, and VTT are derived only after the JSON validates.

Stop conditions

  • Stop before any upload if consent is absent, declined, or ambiguous.
  • Stop and report the exact failed intervals if the one allowed quality retry remains unresolved. Do not present derived output as successful.
  • Stop on unsafe paths, missing prerequisites, failed local model access, or a provider failure; report the redacted error and the safe recovery option.

Common commands

Replace the placeholders with real paths. The first command is interactive; every TTY run still asks for input, mode, and speaker policy.

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.
