What this skill does


# ElevenLabs Speech-to-Text

> **Official ElevenLabs skill for speech-to-text transcription.**

Convert audio to text with state-of-the-art accuracy. Supports 90+ languages, speaker diarization, and realtime streaming.

## Prerequisites

- **ffmpeg** installed (`brew install ffmpeg` on macOS)
- **ELEVENLABS_API_KEY** environment variable set
- Python 3.8+ (dependencies auto-install on first run)

## Usage

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh <audio_file> [options]
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh --url <stream_url> [options]
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh --mic [options]
```

## Examples

### Batch Transcription

Transcribe a local audio file:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh recording.mp3
```

With speaker identification:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh meeting.mp3 --diarize
```

Get full JSON response with timestamps:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh interview.wav --diarize --json
```

### Realtime Streaming

Stream from a URL (e.g., live radio, podcast):

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh --url https://npr-ice.streamguys1.com/live.mp3
```

Transcribe from microphone:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh --mic
```

Stream a local file in realtime (useful for testing):

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh audio.mp3 --realtime
```

### Quiet Mode for Agents

Suppress status messages on stderr:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh --mic --quiet
```

## Options

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--diarize` | Identify different speakers in the audio |
| `--lang CODE` | ISO language hint (e.g., `en`, `pt`, `es`, `fr`) |
| `--json` | Output full JSON with timestamps and metadata |
| `--events` | Tag audio events (laughter, music, applause) |
| `--realtime` | Stream local file instead of batch processing |
| `--partials` | Show interim transcripts during realtime mode |
| `-q, --quiet` | Suppress status messages (recommended for agents) |

## Output Format

### Text Mode (default)

Plain text transcription:

```
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
```

### JSON Mode (`--json`)

```json
{
  "text": "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.",
  "language_code": "eng",
  "language_probability": 0.98,
  "words": [
    {"text": "The", "start": 0.0, "end": 0.15, "type": "word", "speaker_id": "speaker_0"}
  ]
}
```

### Realtime Mode

Final transcripts print as they're committed. With `--partials`:

```
[partial] The quick
[partial] The quick brown fox
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
```

## Supported Formats

**Audio:** MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WebM, AAC, AIFF, Opus
**Video:** MP4, AVI, MKV, MOV, WMV, FLV, WebM, MPEG, 3GPP

**Limits:** Up to 3GB file size, 10 hours duration

## Error Handling

The script exits with non-zero status on errors:

- **Missing API key:** Set `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` environment variable
- **File not found:** Check the file path exists
- **Missing ffmpeg:** Install with your package manager
- **API errors:** Check API key validity and rate limits

## When to Use Each Mode

| Scenario | Command |
|----------|---------|
| Transcribe a recording | `./transcribe.sh file.mp3` |
| Meeting with multiple speakers | `./transcribe.sh meeting.mp3 --diarize` |
| Live radio/podcast stream | `./transcribe.sh --url <url>` |
| Voice input from user | `./transcribe.sh --mic --quiet` |
| Need word timestamps | `./transcribe.sh file.mp3 --json` |

watch

Included

Watch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.

accelint-react-best-practices

Included

React performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.

Humanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.
