OpenAI transcriptions API

Transcribe audio through /v1/audio/transcriptions. Set OPENAIBASEURL for an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway.

Quick start

{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a

Defaults:

Model: gpt-4o-transcribe
Output: .txt

Useful flags

{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-transcribe --out /tmp/transcript.txt
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-mini-transcribe
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize --json
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model whisper-1
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --language en
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --prompt "Speaker names: Peter, Daniel"
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --json --out /tmp/transcript.json

Notes:

Supported upload formats include mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, webm.
25 MB upload limit on the hosted API.
Use diarize for speaker labels; script sends chunking_strategy=auto and rejects --prompt.

API key

Set OPENAIAPIKEY, or configure it in the active OpenClaw config file ($OPENCLAWCONFIGPATH, default ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json). Optionally set OPENAIBASEURL:

{
  skills: {
    "openai-whisper-api": {
      apiKey: "OPENAI_KEY_HERE",
    },
  },
}
