name: speech-to-text description: Transcribe or translate audio files to text using a public Hugging Face Whisper Space over Gradio. Use when the user sends voice notes, audio attachments, meeting clips, podcasts, interviews, or any local audio file (.ogg, .mp3, .wav, .m4a, etc.) and wants a transcript, rough captions, or an English translation without relying on paid APIs first.

Speech to Text

Use this skill to turn local audio files into text with a public Whisper-based endpoint.

Quick start

Run:

python3 scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/file.ogg

Return the transcript as plain text. By default, the script also applies lightweight Chinese punctuation and sentence-breaking cleanup.

For machine-readable output:

python3 scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/file.ogg --json

To disable cleanup and keep the raw model text:

python3 scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/file.ogg --format raw

To force Chinese punctuation cleanup:

python3 scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/file.ogg --format zh

For English translation instead of same-language transcription:

python3 scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/file.ogg --task translate

Workflow

1. Confirm the input is a local audio file.
2. Run scripts/transcribe.py on it.
3. If the transcript looks imperfect, tell the user it came from a public Whisper endpoint and may need cleanup.
4. If helpful, post-process into:
5. cleaned transcript
6. summary
7. action items
8. bilingual output

What the script does

The script:

• uploads the local file to a public Gradio-backed Hugging Face Space
• submits a Whisper transcription job
• waits for completion via the Gradio event stream
• prints the resulting text

Default endpoint:

• https://hf-audio-whisper-large-v3-turbo.hf.space

Override it with:

python3 scripts/transcribe.py input.ogg --space https://your-space.hf.space

or set:

export HF_WHISPER_SPACE=https://your-space.hf.space

Guardrails

• Treat this as a best-effort public/free path, not a privacy-grade path.
• Do not use for highly sensitive audio unless the user explicitly accepts public third-party processing.
• Expect rate limits, queueing, and occasional outages.
• If the public endpoint fails, explain that the free backend is unavailable and offer alternatives.

Output handling

Prefer to return:

• the raw transcript when the user asked to "转文字/听写"
• a cleaned version when punctuation is poor
• a short note about uncertainty if names, numbers, or jargon may be wrong

Script

• scripts/transcribe.py — public Whisper transcription helper

这个 Skill 质量中规中矩，能将音频转成文字。它对中文语音识别做了专门优化，会自动添加标点符号，使用体验还算友好。不足之处是依赖第三方公开接口，可能存在隐私风险和网络不稳定的隐患，而且只提供核心脚本，没有附带示例或详细配置，入手门槛稍高。总体来说，它完成了基本任务，但功能完整度和稳定性还有提升空间。
