llm-whisper-api

Run transcriptions using the OpenAI Whisper API

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as LLM.

llm install llm-whisper-api

The plugin adds a new command, llm whisper-api. Use it like this:

llm whisper-api audio.mp3

The transcribed audio will be output directly to standard output as plain text.

The plugin will use the OpenAI API key you have already configured using:

llm keys set openai
# Paste key here

You can also pass an explicit API key using --key like this:

llm whisper-api audio.mp3 --key $OPENAI_API_KEY

You can pipe data to the tool if you specify - as a filename:

curl -s 'https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2024/russian-pelican-in-spanish.mp3' \
  | llm whisper-api -
