OpenAI Whisper API (curl)

Transcribe an audio file via OpenAI’s /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint.

Quick start

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

Defaults:

• Model: whisper-1
• Output: <input>.txt

Useful flags

{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model whisper-1 --out /tmp/transcript.txt
{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

API key

Set OPENAI_API_KEY, or configure it in the active OpenClaw/Jarvis config. Prefer $OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH; otherwise use $OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/openclaw.json. For source/dev OpenClaw with no active env override, the fallback is ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

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