-# elevenlabs-stt
-
-Transcribe local audio files with ElevenLabs Speech-to-Text.
-
-## What this skill is for
-
-- Local audio transcription
-- Voice note transcription
-- Optional speaker diarization
-- Language hints and event tagging
-- JSON output for programmatic use
-
-## Requirements
-
-Required binaries:
-- `curl`
-- `jq`
-- `python3`
-
-Preferred auth:
-- `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` in the environment
-
-Fallback auth:
-- local OpenClaw config lookup from `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` or `~/.openclaw/secrets.json`
-
-## Wrapper
-
-Use the bundled script directly:
-
-```bash
-bash skills/elevenlabs-stt/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3
-bash skills/elevenlabs-stt/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3 --diarize --lang en
-bash skills/elevenlabs-stt/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3 --json
-bash skills/elevenlabs-stt/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3 --events
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Uses ElevenLabs STT model `scribe_v2`.
-- Uploads a local file directly to ElevenLabs.
-- If `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` is not exported, the script tries local OpenClaw config/secrets automatically.

-name: elevenlabs-stt
-description: Transcribe audio files with ElevenLabs Speech-to-Text (Scribe v2) from the local CLI. Use when you need local audio transcription with optional speaker diarization, language hints, event tagging, or JSON output via scripts/transcribe.sh.
----
-
-# ElevenLabs Speech-to-Text
-
-Use `scripts/transcribe.sh` to transcribe a local audio file with ElevenLabs STT.
-
-## Requirements
-
-Preferred: set `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` in the environment before running the script.
-
-Fallback: if the environment variable is not set, the script will try to read the key from local OpenClaw config files in `~/.openclaw/`.
-
-Required binaries:
-- `curl`
-- `jq`
-- `python3`
-
-## Usage
-
-Run from the skill directory or call the script by full path.
-
-Examples:
-
-```bash
-scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3
-scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3 --diarize --lang en
-scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3 --json
-scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.mp3 --events
-```
-
-## Options
-
-- `--diarize` — enable speaker diarization
-- `--lang CODE` — pass an ISO language code hint such as `en`, `es`, or `fr`
-- `--json` — print the full JSON response instead of only transcript text
-- `--events` — include audio event tagging when supported
-
-## Notes
-
-- The script uploads a local file directly to ElevenLabs.
-- The model is fixed to `scribe_v2` in the current script.
-- The script returns plain transcript text by default, or pretty-printed JSON with `--json`.
-- If the API returns an error payload, the script prints the error and exits non-zero.
