Voice Memos
Clawbolt supports voice messages in Telegram. Send a voice note and it gets transcribed and processed as if you typed the message.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Record a voice note: Use Telegram’s built-in voice message feature
- Transcription: The audio is processed by faster-whisper, a fast and accurate speech-to-text engine
- Processing: The transcribed text is fed into the agent loop just like a typed message
- Response: Clawbolt responds to the content of your voice note
When to use voice
Section titled “When to use voice”Voice memos are great for:
- On the job site: When your hands are dirty or you’re holding tools
- Driving between jobs: Quickly capture thoughts or requests
- Detailed descriptions: When typing would take too long
- Estimate requests: Describe the job verbally and get a PDF estimate back
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”Voice transcription requires ffmpeg for audio processing. The Docker image includes ffmpeg by default. For local development, install it via your system package manager.
