# overcast-omnifocus-whisper

This is a hodgepodge of scripts that work together to:

- create an OmniFocus task with a timestamped link to the currently playing Overcast track as the note

- filter OmniFocus for tasks with these Overcast links at the beginning of the note

- make a request that uses this link to download the underlying audio file

- converts the file with ffmpeg to a whisper-compatible format

- uses a rust-based whisper implementation to transcribe the audio file

- replaces the task note with this transcription

The idea is that I can:

- set this script to run in a cron job

- use my `overcast bookmark` iOS shortcut when I am on the go and hear an

  interesting podcast segment

- some time later return to find a timestamped transcription of the podcast in

  the task note to figure out what I thought was so interesting at the time

The parts of script:

- My iOS shortcut is available at [https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/24cf4a7790fe4cdca3a8ca0eeeb9e462](); I'm not sure if there is a way to include its source contents

- `whisper` is from [https://github.com/huggingface/candle](), compiled with a few features to make it a little faster

- `run.sh` accepts an OmniFocus task ID and Overcast URL to:

  - downloads the audio file

  - convert with ffmpeg

  - performs the transcription with `whisper`

  - copy the transcript to stdout

- `overcast-omnifocus-whisper.js` is the primary entrypoint, a JXA script that contains an embedded OmniFocus Automation script to:

  - retrieve tasks that contain an Overcast URL in the note

  - run `run.sh` and collect the output

  - overwrite the task note with a note that contains the transcript

nix (+ flake) users should be able to run all of this machinery with minimal effort: `nix run github:n8henrie/overcast-omnifocus-whisper`
