# Whisper (CLI)
Use `whisper` to transcribe audio locally.
Quick start
- `whisper /path/audio.mp3 --model medium --output_format txt --output_dir .`
- `whisper /path/audio.m4a --task translate --output_format srt`
Notes
- Models download to `~/.cache/whisper` on first run.
- `--model` defaults to `turbo` on this install.
- Use smaller models for speed, larger for accuracy.
Use this skill
Add a "skill" field with the skill’s ID to your chat completion request. It is applied server-side before your prompt is sent — no extra calls.

}Install the skill, enable it in your dashboard and (optionally) limit it to specific models. It then applies automatically to every matching request — with no "skill" field to send each time.
