# memo transcriber

currently a pretty barebones mvp. works with a webhook on port 5000 with a function to transcribe all memos which meet requirements if you want. probably a lot of bugs and typos

adds transcripts like this:

![transcripts example](./_imgs/mvp_screenshot.webp)

## usage

### docker

1. clone and cd into repo

2. `cp .env.example .env`

3. edit variables in .env

4. `docker compose up -d` (maybe `docker-compose up -d` depending on distro (debian))

5. add webhook

### native

1. fill all the variables in the code/env, modify the filters and stuff

2. get all requirements (ive only tried the nix stuff)

3. run `python main.py`

4. add the webhook to your memos instance

### optional

- run `do_all()` if u want, this is still pretty rough. there will be a better way eventually

## motivation

be able to see what i log without having to download the whole video/audio file which can be several gigabytes. also searchability

## TODO

- [ ] figure out a better name for this (super important, obviously)

- [ ] make the code not a disaster

  - [ ] env vars instead of hardcoded

  - [ ] figure out unloading the model in downtime

  - [ ] package properly

  - [ ] error handling

  - [ ] more robust filtering of which memos should be transcribed

  - [ ] figure out where to store model in docker image

- [X] docker image

- [ ] barebones webui

- [ ] add option for external transcription
