Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "whisper-mlx-local", "name": "Local Whisper", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "开发工具", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ImpKind/whisper-mlx-local", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ImpKind/whisper-mlx-local", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/whisper-mlx-local", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=whisper-mlx-local", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "README.md", "SKILL.md", "requirements.txt", "scripts/daemon.py", "scripts/transcribe.sh", "scripts/transcribe_large.sh" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "whisper-mlx-local", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-05-05T03:30:50.332Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-12T03:30:50.332Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=whisper-mlx-local", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=whisper-mlx-local", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"whisper-mlx-local-1.5.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "whisper-mlx-local" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/whisper-mlx-local" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/whisper-mlx-local", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### Local Whisper Transcribe voice messages for free on Telegram and WhatsApp. No API keys. No costs. Runs on your Mac. ### The Problem Voice transcription APIs cost money: OpenAI Whisper: $0.006/minute Groq: $0.001/minute AssemblyAI: $0.01/minute If you transcribe a lot of Telegram voice messages, it adds up. ### The Solution This skill runs Whisper locally on your Mac. Same quality, zero cost. ✅ Free forever ✅ Private (audio never leaves your Mac) ✅ Fast (~1 second per message) ✅ Works offline ### ⚠️ Important Notes First run downloads ~1.5GB model — be patient, this only happens once First transcription is slow — model loads into memory (~10-30 seconds), then it's instant Already using OpenAI API for transcription? Replace your existing tools.media.audio config with the one below ### 1. Install dependencies pip3 install -r requirements.txt ### 2. Start the daemon python3 scripts/daemon.py First run will download the Whisper model (~1.5GB). Wait for "Ready" message. ### 3. Add to OpenClaw config Add this to your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json: { "tools": { "media": { "audio": { "enabled": true, "models": [ { "type": "cli", "command": "~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/local-whisper/scripts/transcribe.sh", "args": ["{{MediaPath}}"], "timeoutSeconds": 60 } ] } } } } ### 4. Restart gateway openclaw gateway restart Now voice messages from Telegram, WhatsApp, etc. will be transcribed locally for free! ### Manual test ./scripts/transcribe.sh voice_message.ogg ### Use Case: Telegram Voice Messages Instead of paying for OpenAI API to transcribe incoming voice messages, point OpenClaw to this local daemon. Free transcription forever. ### Auto-Start on Login cp com.local-whisper.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.local-whisper.plist ### API Daemon runs at localhost:8787: curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/transcribe -F "file=@audio.ogg" # {"text": "Hello world", "language": "en"} ### Translation Any language → English: ./scripts/transcribe.sh spanish_audio.ogg --translate ### Requirements macOS with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) Python 3.9+ ### License MIT ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: ImpKind - Version: 1.5.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-05T03:30:50.332Z - Expires at: 2026-05-12T03:30:50.332Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/whisper-mlx-local/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/whisper-mlx-local)
