How do I transcribe Slack Voice Message with Whisper for whole Team

Hello together,

 

I want to achieve the following: Slack Message with keyword and voice message → send to Whisper → transcribe voice message.

Process:

  1. Every morning the Slackbot sends a message to my team asking them for a quick checkin on what they plan for the day.
  2. They answer to this Slackbot with a message containing only “dailycheckin” + the voice message.
  3. I then want to transcribe this voice message.
  4. It works perfect, when I send messages to the Slackbot.
  5. It does not work, when my team responds to these messages in their Slackbot.

Do I need to use a public channel? Because I dont want to do this because of confidential voice messages.

I use Trigger: “New Message from Query” - Search Query: dailycheckin

Regards,

Soeren

When your team responds with a voice message, Slack provides a private URL for the audio file.

You’ll have to pass the extracted URL to the Whisper API somehow and whisper also has its limitations, but a workaround is provided here:
