# Send Transcribe audio files via OpenRouter using audio-capable models to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### OpenRouter Audio Transcription

Transcribe audio files using OpenRouter's chat completions API with input_audio content type. Works with any audio-capable model.

### Quick start

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

Output goes to stdout.

### Useful flags

# Custom model (default: google/gemini-2.5-flash)
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh audio.ogg --model openai/gpt-4o-audio-preview

# Custom instructions
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh audio.m4a --prompt "Transcribe with speaker labels"

# Save to file
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh audio.m4a --out /tmp/transcript.txt

# Custom caller identifier (for OpenRouter dashboard)
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh audio.m4a --title "MyApp"

### How it works

Converts audio to WAV (mono, 16kHz) using ffmpeg
Base64 encodes the audio
Sends to OpenRouter chat completions with input_audio content
Extracts transcript from response

### API key

Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY env var, or configure in ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  skills: {
    "openrouter-transcribe": {
      apiKey: "YOUR_OPENROUTER_KEY"
    }
  }
}

### Headers

The script sends identification headers to OpenRouter:

X-Title: Caller name (default: "Peanut/Clawdbot")
HTTP-Referer: Reference URL (default: "https://clawdbot.com")

These show up in your OpenRouter dashboard for tracking.

### Troubleshooting

ffmpeg format errors: The script uses a temp directory (not mktemp -t file.wav) because macOS's mktemp adds random suffixes after the extension, breaking format detection.

Argument list too long: Large audio files produce huge base64 strings that exceed shell argument limits. The script writes to temp files (--rawfile for jq, @file for curl) instead of passing data as arguments.

Empty response: If you get "Empty response from API", the script will dump the raw response for debugging. Common causes:

Invalid API key
Model doesn't support audio input
Audio file too large or corrupted
