What This Skill Does

Transcribes audio files to timestamped lyrics using OpenAI Whisper or ElevenLabs Scribe. Outputs LRC, SRT, or JSON formats with word-level timestamps. Includes a post-transcription correction workflow to fix common misrecognition errors in sung lyrics.

Supports two transcription backends with word-level timestamps and includes a structured correction step that most raw transcription tools skip.

When to use it

  • Generating LRC files for music video rendering
  • Creating subtitles for song covers or demos
  • Extracting timestamped lyrics from foreign-language tracks
  • Syncing lyrics to audio for karaoke players
  • Correcting AI-generated transcriptions against original lyrics

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

  1. 1Check if the active provider's API key is configured
  2. 2Run the transcription script with --audio and --language zh flags
  3. 3Read the output LRC file and the original lyrics reference
  4. 4Correct misrecognized words while preserving all timestamps
  5. 5Write the corrected LRC back to disk
OUTPUT

A timestamped LRC file with accurate lyrics saved to acestep_output/<filename>.lrc
