You say
Transcribe interview.mp3 using the diarization model and output it with speaker labels. The recording has specific jargon about 'Kubernetes clusters'.
Your agent does
- Compressed interview.mp3 to 4.2MB (16kHz mono).
- Sent to gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize. Output: Speaker A: How are the Kubernetes clusters performing? Speaker B: We scaled the pods but the ingress controller is lagging.

About this skill
The problem
Large audio files often exceed API limits or consume excessive bandwidth, while local transcription models lack the accuracy of specialized cloud endpoints. Managing multipart form data and parsing complex JSON segments manually is tedious and error-prone.
What it does
- Pre-compresses audio to mono 16 kHz Opus/MP3 using
ffmpegto fit under 25 MB limits. - Executes authenticated multipart uploads to OpenAI transcription endpoints using
curl. - Parses
verbose_jsonresponses into human-readable formats withjq. - Implements diarization models to extract speaker labels from recordings.
- Optimizes accuracy for technical jargon and names using prompt-injection hints.
Frameworks & tools
OpenAI API, ffmpeg, curl, jq, and standard Unix shell environments.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
This skill handles the low-level infrastructure of audio processing that standard LLM prompts ignore. It ensures files are correctly downsampled for cost-efficiency and provides the specific jq filters needed to turn raw API responses into usable transcripts immediately.
Use cases
- Transcribe long podcasts or meetings by compressing them for API compatibility.
- Generate timestamped SRT or VTT files for video subtitles.
- Identify different speakers in interview recordings using diarization models.
- Improve transcription of technical documentation by biasing the model with specific jargon.
Known limitations
Requires an active OPENAI_API_KEY and local installations of ffmpeg and jq. Files that remain over 25 MB after compression must be manually chunked.
