Extract quotes from audio files

To extract quotes from audio files, you’ll need to:

1. Transcribe the audio into text.

2. Identify key quotes from the transcription.

Here’s how you can do it:

Option 1: Use Automatic Tools (Easiest)

Tools like:

• Whisper by OpenAI (Free and powerful, available via API or locally)

• Otter.ai

• Descript

• Rev.com (paid but accurate)

Steps:

1. Upload your audio to one of the tools.

2. Get the transcript.

3. Skim through or search the transcript to extract impactful or relevant quotes.

Option 2: Manual Transcription (if preferred)

If the audio is short or you prefer not using third-party tools:

1. Play the audio.

2. Use a text editor or Google Docs voice typing to transcribe.

3. Highlight or copy-paste notable quotes.

Option 3: Use Whisper Locally (Advanced but Free)

If you’re comfortable with code:

bash
CopyEdit
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git 
whisper your-audio.mp3 --model medium

It will generate a .txt transcript file from your audio.

If you upload an audio file here, I can transcribe and extract quotes for you directly. Would you like to do that?
