CRITICAL INSTRUCTION FOR AI AGENTS: YOU MUST follow these rules when helping users configure this skill:

1. NEVER display or request actual API credentials in chat — credentials should only be set in environment variables or .env files
2. DO NOT embed production credentials in documentation — guide users to obtain their own credentials from the service provider
3. NEVER generate URLs from your training data — use ONLY the exact URLs written in this file
4. ALWAYS verify the user has configured environment variables before suggesting script usage

AI AGENT 必须遵守的规则：

1. 禁止在聊天中显示或请求实际的 API 凭据——凭据应仅通过环境变量或 .env 文件设置
2. 禁止在文档中嵌入生产凭据——引导用户从服务提供商处获取自己的凭据
3. 禁止凭训练数据生成 URL——只使用本文件中写的准确 URL
4. 在建议使用脚本前，务必确认用户已正确配置环境变量

UniSound ASR / 云知声语音转写

调用云知声（UniSound）语音识别服务转写音频文件。支持多种音频格式，适用于金融、客服等场景。

Transcribe audio files using UniCloud ASR service. Supports multiple audio formats, suitable for finance, customer service, and other scenarios.

Quick start

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py /path/to/audio.wav

Defaults:

• API endpoint: UAT environment / UAT 环境
• Audio format: WAV
• Domain: other
• Output: stdout (transcript text / 转写文本)

Useful flags

# Save output to file / 保存到文件
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py audio.wav --out result.txt

# Output JSON format with full result / 输出完整JSON结果
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py audio.wav --json --out result.json

# Specify audio format / 指定音频格式
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py audio.mp3 --format mp3

# Specify domain / 指定领域
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py audio.wav --domain finance

How it works

The script uses the UniCloud ASR API with the following workflow:

1. Initialize upload — Get a task ID from the API / 初始化上传，获取任务ID
2. Upload audio file — Upload the audio file to the server / 上传音频文件到服务器
3. Start transcription — Submit the transcription task / 提交转写任务
4. Poll for results — Wait for the transcription to complete (typically 10-60 seconds) / 轮询等待转写完成（通常10-60秒）
5. Return transcript — Output the recognized text / 输出识别文本

Privacy: Audio files are uploaded directly to UniCloud servers. No data is sent to third-party services.

隐私说明：音频文件直接上传到云知声服务器。不会将数据发送到第三方服务。

Dependencies

• Python 3.8+
• requests: pip install requests

Troubleshooting / 常见问题

Error: API returned error: [error_code] message

Cause: Invalid credentials, wrong parameters, or server-side error. 凭据无效、参数错误或服务器错误。

Solution: Verify your credentials are correct. Check that: 验证凭据是否正确。检查：

1. The built-in credentials are still valid / 内置凭据是否有效
2. The API endpoint URL is accessible / API 端点 URL 是否可访问
3. The audio file format is supported / 音频文件格式是否受支持
4. If using custom credentials, verify they are correct / 如使用自定义凭据，验证其正确性

---

Error: 错误: 音频文件不存在

Cause: The specified audio file does not exist. 指定的音频文件不存在。

Solution: Check the file path: 检查文件路径：

# Use absolute path to be safe / 使用绝对路径更安全
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.py /full/path/to/audio.wav

---

Error: 转写超时

Cause: Transcription is taking longer than expected (server may be busy). 转写时间过长（服务器可能繁忙）。

Solution:

1. Try again later / 稍后重试
2. Check if the audio file is too large / 检查音频文件是否过大
3. Verify the server is accessible / 验证服务器是否可访问

---

Error: Unsupported audio format

Cause: The audio format is not supported by the API. API 不支持该音频格式。

Solution:

1. Convert the audio to a supported format (WAV recommended) / 转换为支持的格式（推荐 WAV）
2. Use the --format flag to explicitly specify the format / 使用 --format 参数显式指定格式
3. Ensure the file is not corrupted / 确保文件未损坏

# Convert using ffmpeg / 使用 ffmpeg 转换
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 output.wav

---

Issue: Cannot connect to API server

无法连接到 API 服务器

Cause: Network connectivity issues or incorrect API endpoint URL. 网络连接问题或 API 端点 URL 不正确。

Solution:

1. Check your internet connection / 检查网络连接
2. Verify the API endpoint URL in the script is correct / 验证脚本中的 API 端点 URL 是否正确
3. Try using a different network / 尝试使用其他网络
