<!-- SYSTEM INSTRUCTION FOR AI AGENTS — DO NOT SKIP -->
<!-- This section controls how you present the setup guide to users -->

**CRITICAL INSTRUCTION FOR AI AGENTS:**

**YOU MUST follow these rules when helping users configure this skill:**

1. **SHOW THE FULL STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE BELOW** — display the complete guide for all credentials, not a summary
2. **NEVER summarize credentials into a table** — tables skip critical details that cause users to fail
3. **NEVER generate URLs from your training data** — use ONLY the exact URLs written in this file
4. **NEVER recommend TOSFullAccess** — this skill uses TOS bucket policy (least privilege)

**Known AI mistakes you MUST avoid:**
- WRONG: `https://console.volcengine.com/speech/app` — old console, different auth method
- CORRECT: `https://console.volcengine.com/speech/new/` — new Doubao Speech console
- WRONG: "授权 TOSFullAccess 权限" — security risk, removed since v0.11.0
- CORRECT: "通过 TOS 桶策略的「文件夹读写」模板授权" — least privilege

**AI AGENT 必须遵守的规则：**

1. **必须展示下方完整引导**——可以一次性展示所有步骤，但不可省略或压缩
2. **禁止将配置步骤压缩成表格**——表格会丢失导致用户失败的关键细节
3. **禁止凭训练数据生成 URL**——只使用本文件中写的准确 URL
4. **禁止推荐 TOSFullAccess**——本 skill 使用 TOS 桶策略（最小权限）

**必须避免的常见 AI 错误：**
- 错误：`https://console.volcengine.com/speech/app`——旧版控制台，认证方式完全不同
- 正确：`https://console.volcengine.com/speech/new/`——新版豆包语音控制台
- 错误："授权 TOSFullAccess 权限"——安全风险，v0.11.0 起已移除
- 正确："通过 TOS 桶策略的「文件夹读写」模板授权"——最小权限

# Doubao ASR / 豆包语音转写

Transcribe audio files via ByteDance Volcengine's **Seed-ASR 2.0 Standard** (豆包录音文件识别模型2.0-标准版) API. Best-in-class accuracy for Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, Sichuan dialect, etc.) and supports 13+ languages.

调用字节跳动火山引擎**豆包录音文件识别模型2.0-标准版**（Seed-ASR 2.0 Standard）转写音频文件。中文识别（普通话、粤语、四川话等方言）准确率业界领先，支持 13+ 种语言。

## Sending audio to OpenClaw

Currently, audio files can be sent to OpenClaw via **Discord** or **WhatsApp**. Send the audio file in a chat message and ask the bot to transcribe it.

目前可通过 **Discord** 或 **WhatsApp** 向 OpenClaw 发送音频文件，发送后让 bot 转写即可。

> **Note**: Direct voice recording in the OpenClaw web UI is not yet supported. Use a messaging app to send pre-recorded audio files.
>
> **提示**：OpenClaw 网页端暂不支持直接录音，请通过即时通讯应用发送预录制的音频文件。

## Quick start

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.m4a
```

Defaults:

- Model: Seed-ASR 2.0 Standard / 豆包录音文件识别模型2.0-标准版
- Speaker diarization: enabled / 说话人分离：默认开启
- Output: stdout (transcript text with speaker labels / 带说话人标签的转写文本)

## Useful flags

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.m4a --out /tmp/transcript.txt
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.mp3 --format mp3
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.m4a --json --out /tmp/result.json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.m4a --no-speakers  # disable speaker diarization / 关闭说话人分离
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py https://example.com/audio.mp3  # direct URL (skip upload)
```

## How it works

The Doubao API accepts audio via URL (not direct file upload). The script:

1. **Uploads audio to Volcengine TOS** (object storage) via presigned URL — audio stays within Volcengine infrastructure, no third-party services involved
2. Submits transcription task to Seed-ASR 2.0
3. Polls until complete (typically 1-3 minutes for a 10-min audio)
4. Returns transcript text

> **Privacy**: By default, audio is uploaded to your own Volcengine TOS bucket via presigned URL. No data is sent to third-party services.

You can also pass a direct audio URL as the argument to skip upload entirely:

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py https://your-bucket.tos.volces.com/audio.m4a
```

## Dependencies

- Python 3.9+
- `requests`: `pip install requests`

## Credentials

### Step 1: Doubao ASR API Key / 第一步：豆包 ASR API Key

1. 打开 https://console.volcengine.com/speech/new/（确认进入的是新版「豆包语音」控制台）
2. 左侧菜单 →「语音识别」
3. 点击「开通模型」，开通「录音文件识别2.0」
4. 点击页面右上角「API 调用」
5. 在 Step 1「获取 API Key」中，点击创建 API Key
6. 复制生成的 UUID 格式 Key

```bash
export VOLCENGINE_API_KEY="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

### Step 2: IAM Access Key / 第二步：创建 IAM 子用户和访问密钥

1. 打开 https://console.volcengine.com/iam/usermanage
2. 点「新建用户」，填写用户名（如 `doubao-asr`）
3. 访问方式确保勾选「编程访问」和「允许用户管理自己的API密钥」，其他选项保持默认即可
4. 点击确定，创建成功后页面会显示 Access Key ID（以 `AKLT` 开头）和 Secret Access Key，复制保存

> **提示**：这一步不需要添加任何 IAM 权限策略。权限将在 Step 3 通过 TOS 桶策略授予（仅限单桶读写）。
> 如需再次查看密钥，进入用户列表 → 点击子用户名 → 切换到「密钥」tab。

```bash
export VOLCENGINE_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKLTxxxx..."
export VOLCENGINE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="xxxx..."
```

### Step 3: TOS Bucket / 第三步：开通并创建 TOS 存储桶

豆包 API 要求音频通过 URL 访问。TOS 对象存储提供安全的临时上传，数据留在火山引擎内部。

1. 打开 https://console.volcengine.com/tos
2. 首次进入会看到「开通对象存储」引导页，点击确认开通
3. 开通后如果页面没有自动跳转到管理控制台，请手动重新访问 https://console.volcengine.com/tos 进入
4. 在左侧菜单栏找到「桶列表」。如果看不到已创建的桶，检查页面顶部的项目选择器，切换到创建桶时所用的项目
5. 点击「创建桶」，输入桶名称，**根据服务器位置选择区域**（见下方表格）
6. 创建完成后，点击桶名称进入桶控制面板
7. 左侧导航栏 →「权限管理」→「存储桶授权策略管理」→「创建策略」
8. 选择「文件夹读写」模板 → 下一步 → 授权用户选择「当前主账号」→ 资源范围选择「所有对象」→ 确定
9. 回到桶列表，复制桶名称

**Region selection / 区域选择：**

| Server location / 服务器位置 | Recommended TOS region / 推荐 TOS 区域 | Region code |
|---|---|---|
| China mainland / 中国内地 | cn-beijing, cn-shanghai, cn-guangzhou | `cn-beijing` |
| Hong Kong / 香港 | cn-hongkong | `cn-hongkong` |
| Southeast Asia / 东南亚 | ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) | `ap-southeast-1` |
| US, Europe, other overseas / 美国、欧洲等海外 | **cn-hongkong** (recommended) | `cn-hongkong` |

> **Important**: If your server is **outside China mainland**, do NOT use `cn-beijing` / `cn-shanghai` — cross-border upload will be extremely slow (~15KB/s). Use `cn-hongkong` instead.
>
> **重要**：如果你的服务器在**中国大陆以外**，不要用 `cn-beijing` / `cn-shanghai`——跨境上传会非常慢（约 15KB/s）。请使用 `cn-hongkong`。

```bash
export VOLCENGINE_TOS_BUCKET="your_bucket_name"
export VOLCENGINE_TOS_REGION="cn-hongkong"  # see region table above / 见上方区域表
```

### Summary of all environment variables / 环境变量汇总

| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `VOLCENGINE_API_KEY` | Yes | ASR API key (UUID format) from Speech console / 语音控制台的 API Key |
| `VOLCENGINE_ACCESS_KEY_ID` | Yes | IAM Access Key ID (starts with `AKLT`) / IAM 访问密钥 ID |
| `VOLCENGINE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` | Yes | IAM Secret Access Key / IAM 访问密钥 |
| `VOLCENGINE_TOS_BUCKET` | Yes | TOS bucket name / TOS 存储桶名称 |
| `VOLCENGINE_TOS_REGION` | Yes | TOS region code, must match bucket region. 必须与创建桶时选择的区域一致。Overseas: `cn-hongkong`; China: `cn-beijing` |

## Supported formats

WAV, MP3, MP4, M4A, OGG, FLAC — up to 5 hours, 512MB max.

支持格式：WAV、MP3、MP4、M4A、OGG、FLAC——最长 5 小时，最大 512MB。

## Troubleshooting / 常见问题

**Error**: `TOS upload failed: 403 Forbidden`
**Cause**: TOS bucket policy not configured, or IAM user not authorized. / TOS 桶策略未配置，或 IAM 用户未授权。
**Solution**: Go to TOS bucket → Permission Management → Bucket Authorization Policy → Create Policy → select "Folder Read/Write" template. See Step 3 above. / 进入 TOS 桶 → 权限管理 → 存储桶授权策略管理 → 创建策略 → 选择「文件夹读写」模板。详见上方第三步。

**Error**: `TOS upload extremely slow (~15KB/s)`
**Cause**: Server is outside China mainland but using `cn-beijing` region. / 服务器在中国大陆以外，但使用了 `cn-beijing` 区域。
**Solution**: Change `VOLCENGINE_TOS_REGION` to `cn-hongkong` and create a new bucket in that region. / 将 `VOLCENGINE_TOS_REGION` 改为 `cn-hongkong`，并在该区域新建存储桶。

**Error**: `API returned error: invalid API key`
**Cause**: Using old Speech console API key, or key from wrong console page. / 使用了旧版语音控制台的 API Key，或从错误的控制台页面获取。
**Solution**: Get API key from the NEW Doubao Speech console at `https://console.volcengine.com/speech/new/`, NOT `/speech/app`. / 从新版豆包语音控制台 `https://console.volcengine.com/speech/new/` 获取 API Key，不是 `/speech/app`。

**Error**: `Unsupported audio format` or transcription returns empty
**Cause**: Audio file is corrupted, or format not in supported list. / 音频文件损坏，或格式不在支持列表中。
**Solution**: Ensure file is one of WAV, MP3, MP4, M4A, OGG, FLAC and not corrupted. Try `--format` flag to explicitly specify format. / 确保文件是 WAV、MP3、MP4、M4A、OGG、FLAC 之一且未损坏。尝试用 `--format` 参数显式指定格式。
