Risky. This skill has patterns associated with unsafe behaviour. Read the source carefully before running it.
Transcribes audio and video files to text using pluggable ASR backends. Default backend is local whisper CLI (openai-whisper). Supports whisperX (with diarization), insanely-fast-whisper, faster-whisper, whisper.cpp, OpenAI Whisper API, Groq Whisper API, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Gemini, and Hugging Face models. Handles very long files (1-8+ hours) by preprocessing with ffmpeg: extracts audio from video, converts to optimal ASR format, detects and skips silence, and chunks for API size limits. Supports speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, custom vocabulary, and multiple output formats. Use this skill when someone says "transcribe this", "convert to text", "speech to text", "get the transcript", "transcribe this video/audio/podcast/recording", or provides a media file and wants text output.
