Are there any voice transcription libs that work with Babashka?

borkdude 2026-02-20T12:24:56.159739Z

I've been doing a transcription with a one-off python script yesterday, it uses open-whisper

def transcribe(audio_path, language="nl", model_size="base"):
    """Transcribeer audio met Whisper. Retourneert lijst van segmenten met timestamps."""
    import whisper

    print(f"Transcriberen met Whisper ({model_size} model, taal={language})...")
    model = whisper.load_model(model_size)
    result = model.transcribe(audio_path, language=language, verbose=False)

    segments = []
    for seg in result["segments"]:
        segments.append({
            "start": seg["start"],
            "end": seg["end"],
            "text": seg["text"].strip(),
        })

    print(f"Transcriptie klaar: {len(segments)} segmenten, "
          f"~{segments[-1]['end'] / 60:.0f} minuten.")
    return segments

pip install openai-whisper

I don't think this would work in bb directly

sheluchin 2026-02-20T13:10:28.138419Z

Yeah, I've been using Python too 😔

I’m getting an error trying to run bb. I updated reacently with brew, and also reinstalled it.

seems like the zip file might be corrupt?

borkdude 2026-02-20T15:11:36.998049Z

try removing /Users/ryan/.deps.clj/1.12.4.1597

chromalchemy 2026-02-20T15:13:10.153209Z

Ok, did that and it works now. Thanks!

borkdude 2026-02-20T15:13:31.602389Z

I think we might want to build in some sha256 check in deps.clj
