Illustrative output

Illustrative: A transcript or diarized JSON file, with quality checks against the source audio.

Requirements & permissions

  • Python, the OpenAI SDK, OPENAI_API_KEY and billable Audio API access. Input media leaves the machine for processing.
  • Upstream examples use the legacy ~/.codex/skills location. Set SPEECH_CLI / TRANSCRIBE_CLI to the actual script in your chosen agent install folder before running example commands. The upstream repository is deprecated; evaluate updates independently.

What it may access

  • Read user-authorized source text/audio/video
  • Write generated files
  • Run inspected local CLI commands
  • Network access to external services; user-supplied credentials stay local
  • Audio/text sent to the OpenAI API for live jobs; API charges are separate.

The package is free. Your agent, model subscription, external API usage and local software may have separate costs. Review scripts before running them, and use copies of important files.
