```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.

## Documentation

### Whisper STT Skill

Free, local speech-to-text using OpenAI Whisper.

### Prerequisites

Install dependencies (one-time setup):

pip install openai-whisper torch

Optional: Install ffmpeg for broader format support:

macOS: brew install ffmpeg
Ubuntu: sudo apt install ffmpeg

### Transcribe an audio file

python ~/.openclaw/skills/whisper-stt/scripts/transcribe.py <audio_file>

### Options

OptionDescription--modelModel size: tiny, base, small, medium, large, large-v3-turbo (default: base)--language, -lLanguage code: zh, en, ja, etc. (auto-detect if not specified)--output, -oOutput format: json, txt, srt, vtt (default: json)

### Examples

Chinese audio to text:

python ~/.openclaw/skills/whisper-stt/scripts/transcribe.py recording.m4a --language zh --output txt

Generate subtitles (SRT):

python ~/.openclaw/skills/whisper-stt/scripts/transcribe.py video.mp4 --output srt > subtitles.srt

Use faster model:

python ~/.openclaw/skills/whisper-stt/scripts/transcribe.py audio.mp3 --model tiny --output txt

High accuracy (slower):

python ~/.openclaw/skills/whisper-stt/scripts/transcribe.py audio.mp3 --model large-v3 --output txt

### Model Selection Guide

### Troubleshooting

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'whisper'"
→ Run: pip install openai-whisper torch

"ffmpeg not found"
→ Install ffmpeg or convert audio to WAV format first

Slow transcription
→ Use smaller model (tiny/base) or ensure GPU is available (Apple Silicon MPS, NVIDIA CUDA)

Poor accuracy on Chinese
→ Use --language zh explicitly and consider larger model (medium/large)

### Output Formats

json: Full result with segments, timestamps, and metadata
txt: Plain text transcription only
srt: SubRip subtitle format with timing
vtt: WebVTT subtitle format for web players
