- Background voice journaling with Soniox realtime STT for OpenClaw. Requires SONIOX_API_KEY. Get/create your Soniox API key at https://soniox.com/speech-to-text. Use when the user asks to start or stop passive speech logging (especially commands like "start voice journal", "start voice log", and "end voice journal"), or asks for a summary/transcript of the last N minutes of conversation.

Voice log
Conversation journal that uses Soniox realtime STT in a background daemon that:
- Captures microphone audio continuously.
- Keeps a text-only log file, with live conversation logs bucketed by minute.
- Keeps only the latest 60 minutes (for now).
