Quick and dirty audio file transcription script that should be easy to use as a droplet or for desktop transcribing automations at https://github.com/krypted/lightweighttranscription. To use it:
- Install awsCLI and boto3:
- pip install boto3 –user (or pip3 install boto3 –user)
- Mac client available at: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-mac.html
- Run the
$ aws configuresetup - Set access key, secret key, region and output format
- Instead of passing the credentials in the script, it is recommanded to install awscli and setup credential profile. If running as a microservice, simply hit the endpoint in the script instead.
- If running on a computer, keep the Input file and script in the same dir to avoid search path failures.
- Run script `python3
- E.g
python3 lightweighttranscribe.py sample3.wav converted.txt
- E.g
- Output file will be created in same dir as script in case you don’t specify path.
