Skill: modestyrichards/modesty-asr (version 1.0.2)

# ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) Skill Fast, accurate automatic speech-to-text transcription powered by SkillBoss API Hub. ## Why use this skill? - **Multilingual:** Supports 100 languages with auto-detection. - **Flexible Input:** Transcribe from a URL or a local file. - **Agent-Ready:** Designed for high-volume, automated pipelines. - **Unified API:** Powered by SkillBoss API Hub — single key, single endpoint. ## Setup ### 1. Get an API Key Sign up at [skillboss.co](https://skillboss.co) to obtain your `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY`. ### 2. Configure Authentication This skill looks for your API key in the `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` environment variable. Add this to your `.env` or agent config: ```bash SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=your_key_here ``` ## Usage ### TL;DR for Agents When this skill is installed, you can transcribe any URL or local file by running: `./skills/asr/scripts/asr.sh transcribe --url "https://example.com/audio.mp3"` ### Transcribe a URL ```bash # Basic transcription ./skills/asr/scripts/asr.sh transcribe --url "https://example.com/audio.mp3" # With language hint ./skills/asr/scripts/asr.sh transcribe --url "https://example.com/audio.mp3" --language "en" ``` ### Transcribe a Local File ```bash # Upload and transcribe local media ./skills/asr/scripts/asr.sh transcribe --file "./local-audio.wav" ``` ### Supported Options - `--language <code>`: ISO language code (e.g., 'en', 'es') ### Output Returns a JSON response. The transcription text is in: ``` .result.text ``` If the `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` is missing, the tool will provide a clear error message.
