Installation

Install Python dependencies before using this skill. From the skill directory (skills/asr-file-transfer-tools):

pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

Requires Python 3.8+.

How to Use This Skill

⛔ MANDATORY RESTRICTIONS - DO NOT VIOLATE ⛔

1. ONLY use UniSound ASR API - Execute the script python3 scripts/transcribe.py
2. NEVER transcribe audio directly - Do NOT attempt local transcription
3. NEVER offer alternatives - Do NOT suggest "I can try another method" or similar
4. IF API fails - Display the error message and STOP immediately
5. NO fallback methods - Do NOT attempt audio transcription any other way

If the script execution fails (API not configured, network error, etc.):

• Show the error message to the user
• Do NOT offer to help using your audio analysis capabilities
• Do NOT ask "Would you like me to try transcribing it?"
• Simply stop and wait for user to fix the configuration

Basic Workflow

1. Execute audio transcription:

   python3 scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.wav

Command options: - --format FORMAT - Audio format (wav, mp3, m4a, flac, ogg) - --domain DOMAIN - Recognition domain (finance, customer_service, other) - --out FILE - Save output to file instead of stdout - --json - Output JSON format with full result - --userid ID - Custom user ID

1. Output:

- Default: Text transcript printed to stdout - With --out: Transcript saved to specified file - With --json: Full JSON result with metadata

Understanding the Output

Text Format:

• Plain transcript of the audio content
• Sentence segmentation preserved
• Timestamps included in JSON mode

JSON Format:

• Complete transcription result with metadata
• Confidence scores for each segment
• Timestamp information
• Recognition details

Usage Examples

Example 1: Quick Transcription

python3 scripts/transcribe.py recording.wav

Output: Transcript text printed to console

Example 2: Save to File

python3 scripts/transcribe.py interview.mp3 --format mp3 --out transcript.txt

Output: Transcript saved to transcript.txt

Example 3: JSON Output with Metadata

python3 scripts/transcribe.py audio.m4a --json --out result.json

Output: Complete JSON result with timestamps and confidence scores

Example 4: Domain-Specific Transcription

python3 scripts/transcribe.py financial_call.wav --domain finance

Output: Transcript optimized for financial terminology

How It Works

The script uses the UniCloud ASR API with the following workflow:

1. Initialize upload — Get a task ID from the API / 初始化上传，获取任务ID
2. Upload audio file — Upload the audio file to the server / 上传音频文件到服务器
3. Start transcription — Submit the transcription task / 提交转写任务
4. Poll for results — Wait for transcription to complete (typically 10-60 seconds) / 轮询等待转写完成（通常10-60秒）
5. Return transcript — Output the recognized text / 输出识别文本

Privacy: Audio files are uploaded directly to UniCloud servers. No data is sent to third-party services. 隐私说明：音频文件直接上传到云知声服务器。不会将数据发送到第三方服务。

Supported Formats

Supported file types:

• WAV
• MP3
• M4A
• FLAC
• OGG

Limits:

• Maximum duration: 2 hours
• Maximum file size: 100MB

Use the --format flag to specify the format if auto-detection fails:

python3 scripts/transcribe.py audio.mp3 --format mp3

Error Handling

Authentication failed:

API returned error: 401

→ AppKey or Secret is invalid, reconfigure with correct credentials → AppKey 或 Secret 无效，请重新配置正确的凭据

Network error:

Connection timeout

→ Check network connectivity to UniCloud API → 检查到云知声 API 的网络连接

Audio file not found:

错误: 音频文件不存在

→ Check the file path, use absolute path if needed → 检查文件路径，必要时使用绝对路径

Transcription timeout:

转写超时

→ Transcription is taking longer than expected (server may be busy) → 转写时间过长（服务器可能繁忙） → Try again later / 稍后重试 → Check if the audio file is too large / 检查音频文件是否过大

Unsupported audio format:

Unsupported audio format

→ The audio format is not supported by the API → API 不支持该音频格式 → Convert to a supported format (WAV recommended) / 转换为支持的格式（推荐 WAV） → Use --format flag to explicitly specify the format / 使用 --format 参数显式指定格式

# Convert using ffmpeg / 使用 ffmpeg 转换
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 output.wav

API quota exceeded:

API returned error: 429

→ Too many requests, wait before retrying → 请求过多，请稍后重试

Important Notes

• Requires network connectivity to UniCloud ASR API

需要网络连接到云知声 ASR API

• Cloud-based processing - Audio files are uploaded to UniSound servers

云端处理——音频文件会上传到云知声服务器

• File size limits: Maximum 2 hours duration, 100MB file size

文件大小限制：最长 2 小时，最大 100MB

• Domain optimization: Use appropriate --domain for better accuracy

领域优化：使用适当的 --domain 以获得更高的准确率

• Test credentials: UAT environment credentials are for testing only

测试凭据：UAT 环境凭据仅供测试使用

Security Best Practices

For production deployment / 生产部署:

• Obtain your own credentials from UniCloud / 云知声

从云知声获取您自己的凭据

• Use environment variables — Never embed production credentials in scripts or configuration files

使用环境变量——切勿在脚本或配置文件中嵌入生产凭据

• Review privacy policy — Audio files are uploaded to UniSound servers; review their privacy policy

审查隐私政策——音频文件会上传到云知声服务器；请查看其隐私政策

• Test with non-sensitive data first — Always test with non-sensitive audio files first

首先使用非敏感数据进行测试——始终先使用非敏感音频文件进行测试

Troubleshooting

Issue: Script fails with import error → Ensure dependencies are installed: pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt → Ensure using Python 3.8 or later / 确保使用 Python 3.8 或更高版本

Issue: Cannot connect to API server 无法连接到 API 服务器 → Check network connectivity / 检查网络连接 → Verify API endpoint URL is correct / 验证 API 端点 URL 是否正确 → Try using a different network / 尝试使用其他网络

Issue: Poor transcription quality → Check audio quality (background noise, clarity) / 检查音频质量（背景噪音、清晰度） → Try using appropriate --domain parameter / 尝试使用适当的 --domain 参数 → Ensure audio format is correct / 确保音频格式正确
