Convert audio and video files into transcribed text with automatic speaker identification and timing markers. Choose between local processing on Apple Silicon Macs or remote API endpoints, with optional speaker diarization and plain-text fallback.
This skill implements speech-to-text using Faster Whisper for converting audio input into written transcriptions. It prioritizes local processing, immediate deletion of audio data, and secure handling of voice information while supporting real-time streaming, multiple languages, and hardware-optimized model selection.
Faster-whisper delivers rapid, offline speech-to-text transcription using CTranslate2, achieving 4-6x speed over OpenAI Whisper while maintaining identical accuracy. Generate subtitles in multiple formats (SRT, VTT, TTML, CSV), identify speakers, process batches with ETA, search transcripts, and detect chapters—all without API dependencies.
Transcription Automation handles speech-to-text conversion for audio files, video recordings, and live streams, automatically identifying speakers and generating formatted transcripts. The skill produces searchable archives, meeting notes with action items, and subtitles in SRT or VTT formats across multiple languages. It integrates with platforms like Zoom, YouTube, and podcasting workflows to streamline content processing end-to-end.
Convert local audio and video files into text transcripts using Whisper, then optionally generate meeting minutes, action items, speaker-separated output, and presentation-ready summaries. Supports Japanese meetings, Teams recordings, and other media formats entirely on your machine.
Media Transcription runs a durable, event-driven pipeline to transcribe meeting media stored on the NAS, using MLX Whisper for speech recognition and pyannote for speaker identification. Monitor progress in real time, cancel runs, or resume from partial completions—all orchestrated through Inngest with detached local inference processes that prevent timeout failures. Execution is limited to the Flagg host worker with direct access to the media mount.
