Whisper Client\n\nA command-line client for transcribing audio files using OpenAI's Whisper model via the [whisper-service](https://github.com/aaronsb/whisper-service) backend.\n\n## Features\n\n- Transcribe audio files to text using Whisper\n- Transcribe YouTube videos by URL\n- Support for batch processing directories of audio files\n- Track transcription job status\n- View job history\n- Terminate running jobs\n- Responsive to external state changes\n- Configurable service endpoint\n- Markdown output format\n\n## Installation\n\n### Using Build Scripts\n\n#### Linux\n```bash\n# Build and test\n./build.sh\n\n# Build, test, and install to /usr/local/bin\n./build.sh --install\n```\n\n#### Windows\n```powershell\n# Build and test\n.\\build.ps1\n\n# Build, test, and install to Program Files\n.\\build.ps1 -Install\n```\n\n### Manual Installation\n\n```bash\n# Build from source\ncargo build --release\n\n# Copy to a location in your PATH\nsudo cp target/release/whisper-client /usr/local/bin/\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nOn first run, the client creates a configuration file at:\n- Linux: `~/.config/whisper-client/config.json`\n- Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\\.config\\whisper-client\\config.json`\n\nDefault configuration:\n```json\n{\n  \"service_url\": \"http://localhost:8000\"\n}\n```\n\nEdit this file to point to your whisper-service instance if it's running on a different host or port.\n\n## Usage\n\nFor detailed usage instructions, see the [usage guide](docs/usage.md).\n\n### Transcribe a YouTube Video\n```bash\nwhisper-client transcribe-youtube --url YOUTUBE_URL\n```\n\n### Transcribe a Single File\n```bash\nwhisper-client transcribe PATH_TO_FILE\n```\n\n### Transcribe a Directory\n```bash\n# Process all audio files in directory\nwhisper-client transcribe PATH_TO_DIR\n\n# Process directory recursively\nwhisper-client transcribe -r PATH_TO_DIR\n```\n\n### List All Jobs\n```bash\nwhisper-client list-jobs\n\n# With detailed information\nwhisper-client list-jobs -v\n```\n\n### Check Job Status\n```bash\nwhisper-client status --job-id JOB_ID\n\n# With transcription output (if completed)\nwhisper-client status --job-id JOB_ID -v\n```\n\n### Terminate a Job\n```bash\nwhisper-client terminate --job-id JOB_ID\n```\n\n## Output\n\nTranscriptions are saved as markdown files next to the source audio files, containing:\n- Transcribed text\n- Timestamps for each segment\n- Job metadata\n\n## Service Requirements\n\nThis client requires a running instance of [whisper-service](https://github.com/aaronsb/whisper-service). By default, it expects the service to be running at `http://localhost:8000`. You can modify the service URL in the configuration file.\n\n## Supported Audio Formats\n\nThe client supports common audio formats including:\n- WAV\n- MP3\n- M4A\n- FLAC\n- OGG\n- MKV\n\n## Error Handling\n\n- Automatically retries failed connections\n- Graceful handling of service interruptions\n- Responsive to external state changes (e.g., jobs terminated via the server API)\n- Clear error messages for common issues\n- CTRL+C support for canceling running jobs\n\n## Development\n\nBuilt with Rust, using:\n- clap for CLI argument parsing\n- reqwest for HTTP requests\n- tokio for async runtime\n- serde for JSON handling\n\n## License\n\nMIT License\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faaronsb%2Fwhisper-client","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Faaronsb%2Fwhisper-client","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faaronsb%2Fwhisper-client/lists"}
