## TranscriptBot: Real-time voice transcription Slack bot

### Introduction

TranscriptBot is a command-line utility that listens to the sound input from your mic, transcribes each sentence it hears using the Google Web Speech API, and posts it to Slack in real-time. It lets people on your team who are not physically present follow along a meeting or conversation without having to join in a video conference call.

### Installation

1. Install ffmpeg: `brew install ffmpeg` (Mac OS X) or `apt-get install ffmpeg` (Ubuntu).

2. Install portaudio: `brew install portaudio` (Mac OS X) or `apt-get install portaudio19-dev` (Ubuntu).

2. Install TranscriptBot: `pip install transcriptbot`

### Setting up an incoming webhook for your channel

To use TranscriptBot on a given Slack channel, you first need to set up an incoming webhook. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your Slack team and [create a new webhook](https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook/) after selecting the channel you want your bot to post to.

2. Copy the resulting Webhook URL and add it to TranscriptBot:

```bash

$ transcriptbot hooks add my-new-hook https://hooks.slack.com/services/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

# if you want to use the hook in your next recording

$ transcriptbot hooks use my-new-hook

```

Repeat this process every time you want to post to a new channel.
