Audio Transcription Skill

Auto-transcribe voice messages using faster-whisper (local, no API key needed).

Requirements

pip install faster-whisper

Models download automatically on first use.

Usage

Transcribe a file

python3 /root/clawd/skills/audio-transcribe/scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.ogg

Change model (edit script)

Edit transcribe.py and change:

model = WhisperModel('small', device='cpu', compute_type='int8')  # Options: tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3

Models

Model Size VRAM/RAM Speed Use Case
tiny 39 MB ~1 GB ⚡⚡⚡ Quick drafts
base 74 MB ~1 GB ⚡⚡ Basic accuracy
small 244 MB ~2 GB Recommended
medium 769 MB ~5 GB 🐢 Better accuracy
large-v3 1.5 GB ~10 GB 🐢🐢 Best accuracy

Integration

Clawdbot auto-transcribes incoming voice messages when this skill is enabled.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for local transcription. Before installing: (1) be aware pip install faster-whisper will install third-party code from PyPI and may build native dependencies—review that package if you require strict supply-chain controls; (2) model files are downloaded on first use (network bandwidth, disk space, and cache location like ~/.cache may be used); (3) transcription can require significant RAM/CPU/GPU depending on model size—ensure your system meets the listed VRAM/RAM requirements; (4) the included script only reads the audio file you pass and prints the text (no hidden endpoints or credential access were found), but if you must guarantee full offline operation, pre-download models and verify faster-whisper’s sources before running.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: audio-transcribe Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw skill 'audio-transcribe' is benign. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, non-malicious instructions for installing dependencies and running the transcription script, with no evidence of prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/transcribe.py` script uses the `faster-whisper` library to perform local audio transcription, taking an audio file path as input. It does not contain any code for data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or obfuscation. The model download on first use is a standard and expected behavior for local machine learning models.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (local transcription with faster-whisper) align with included script and SKILL.md. The script only loads a WhisperModel and transcribes a provided audio file.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script operate only on the provided audio path and model downloads; there are no references to unrelated files, environment variables, or external endpoints in the skill code itself.
Install Mechanism
No install spec in the registry; SKILL.md asks the user to pip install faster-whisper. This is expected but means a third-party package (and its dependencies) will be installed from PyPI and models will be downloaded from the network on first run.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The script only uses the command-line audio file argument.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify agent configuration or request persistent privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install audio-transcribe
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /audio-transcribe
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
