Live Transcribe — Start

Start real-time microphone transcription. The script captures audio, streams to ElevenLabs Scribe v2 Realtime via WebSocket, and writes committed text to a temp file continuously.

Start command

source ~/.claude/skills/transcribe/scripts/.env && \
  ELEVENLABS_API_KEY="$ELEVENLABS_API_KEY" \
  nohup python3 ~/.claude/scripts/realtime-transcribe.py > /tmp/realtime-transcribe.log 2>&1 &

Wait ~4 seconds, then read the first line of /tmp/realtime-transcribe.log for the startup JSON:

{"status": "started", "pid": 12345, "output_file": "/tmp/transcribe-20260526-143022.txt", ...}
