Setup Snapshot

clawhub skill install s179zksw999xz8ms4cy7pb2fr183m5jq:openai-whisper

1
Setup complexity is MEDIUM. Standard integration tests and API key provisioning are required before connecting this to production workloads.
2
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

# Whisper (CLI)

Use `whisper` to transcribe audio locally.

Quick start
- `whisper /path/audio.mp3 --model medium --output_format txt --output_dir .`
- `whisper /path/audio.m4a --task translate --output_format srt`

Notes
- Models download to `~/.cache/whisper` on first run.
- `--model` defaults to `turbo` on this install.
- Use smaller models for speed, larger for accuracy.

Local speech-to-text with the Whisper CLI (no API key). <br>

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use. <br>

## Publisher: <br>

### License/Terms of Use: <br>


## Use Case: <br>
Developers, analysts, and external users use this skill to transcribe or translate local audio files with the Whisper CLI without an API key. <br>

### Deployment Geography for Use: <br>
Global <br>

## Known Risks and Mitigations: <br>
Risk: The Homebrew package and local Homebrew setup are part of the installation trust boundary. <br>
Mitigation: Install only from a trusted Homebrew setup and review the package source before deployment. <br>
Risk: Whisper model files are downloaded and cached locally on first use. <br>
Mitigation: Plan storage and network access for model downloads, and manage the local cache according to organizational policy. <br>
Risk: Generated transcripts can contain sensitive information from the input audio. <br>
Mitigation: Handle audio files and transcript outputs as sensitive data and apply the same access controls and retention rules. <br>
