Audio and Video Transcription Through Claude Code
I tell Claude Code /whisper and it transcribes recordings locally into text (.md) and subtitles (.srt). Czech and English. Public on GitHub.
This app is open on GitHub. Fork it, use it and build on it. I like giving it to the community.
About the project
I have thousands of recordings: talks from Marketing Festival, Digisemestr, and Hack Your Way, podcast episodes, my own voice notes. Nobody would transcribe them by hand.
So I built a tool I run with /whisper in Claude Code, and it takes care of it: transcribes, cleans up, and prepares the output.
It all runs locally on my computer, so the recordings never leave it. I use it almost every day.
And since it's public on GitHub, fork it, use it, and build on it. I'm glad to give it to the community.
What you get
- I transcribe hundreds of recordings, just by saying /whisper.
- Runs locally, the data never leaves.
- Czech and English, output in .md and .srt.
- Public on GitHub, fork it for yourself.
How it works (under the hood)
- My own whisper.cpp (Large V3) + Silero VAD.
- Scripts: transcription, cleanup, deduplication, summary.
- The whole workflow is driven by the /whisper skill in Claude Code.
