| name | live-transcribe-read |
| description | Read the latest real-time transcription. Use when user asks to see, read, or show a transcription that was captured via live-transcribe. Triggers on: 'תקריא תמלול', 'מה תמללתי', 'התמלול האחרון', 'show transcription', 'what did I say', 'read the transcript', 'מה נכתב בתמלול', 'תראה לי את התמלול'. Also use when user references transcription content without being explicit — e.g. 'summarize what I said', 'translate the transcription'. |
Live Transcribe — Read
Read the most recent transcription file from a live-transcribe session.
Finding the latest transcription
The real-time transcript lives in the log file, not the .txt file. The log updates continuously during recording.
cat /tmp/realtime-transcribe.log 2>/dev/null
grep '^\[committed\]' /tmp/realtime-transcribe.log 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^\[committed\] //'
The .txt file (/tmp/transcribe-*.txt) may contain a final dump but does NOT update in real-time. Always prefer the log file.
Check if transcription is still active
if test -f /tmp/realtime-transcribe.pid && kill -0 $(cat /tmp/realtime-transcribe.pid) 2>/dev/null; then
echo "ACTIVE — file is still being updated"
else
echo "FINISHED — file is complete"
fi
Read the file
Use grep to extract committed text from the log, stripping [committed] prefixes. Skip the first JSON status line and [session started] markers.
What to tell the user
- The transcription text
- Whether it's still being updated or finished
- If still active: they can check again later for more content
- If no files found: tell them no transcription has been recorded yet
Working with the transcription
The user may ask to do things with the text beyond just reading it:
- Summarize, translate, extract action items, format, etc.
- The text is available in the main context after reading — proceed with whatever the user asks
