Based onVolcano Engine BigModel ASR to convert speech to text. Accuracy and multilingual capability are far superior to local whisper, and it is faster.
Core Execution Flow
- Received a Feishu voice message (
message_type: audio), need to automatically recognize the speech content - User provides audio to be transcribed：
- First run
inspect_audio.py - then choose based on duration, size, URL/local path
asr_flash.py(Flash version) orasr_standard.py(Standard version)
- First run
- Missing ffmpeg / ffprobe: first execute
ensure_ffmpeg.py --execute - User asks about installation, activation, manual configuration: read the corresponding document according to the reference map at the end of the document
Mandatory Rules (Highest Priority)
When you receive a voice message or audio file attachment:
- Must and can only use the scripts of this Skill to recognize speech
- Prohibited to use
whispercommands or the openai-whisper skill - Fallback prohibited: when the script fails, directly inform the user of the error message, do not switch to whisper
- Probe first, then recognize: uniformly first execute
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/inspect_audio.py "<AUDIO_INPUT>" - If ffmpeg/ffprobe is missing, install autonomously first: first execute
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/ensure_ffmpeg.py --execute, only ask the user for help after it fails
Usage Steps
- Confirm the audio source (local file, URL, or Feishu voice file_key).
- Before running the script, first
cdto this skill directory:skills/byted-voice-to-text。 - Execute the corresponding command (see parameter description below).
- Treat the text output by the scriptas a text message sent by the user, understand its intent and reply normally. No need to additionally state "the speech recognition result is xxx", just directly answer the user's question.
Routing Cheat Sheet
Local file
| Condition | Script |
|---|---|
| Duration ≤ 2h and size ≤ 100MB | asr_flash.py --file "<FILE>" (Flash version, synchronous fast return) |
| 2h < duration ≤ 5h | asr_standard.py --file "<FILE>" (Standard version, asynchronous submit+poll) |
| Duration > 5h | Not supported; slice first and process each slice with the Flash version |
| Cannot obtain duration and size ≤ 100MB | asr_flash.py --file "<FILE>" (Flash version fallback) |
| Cannot obtain duration and size > 100MB | asr_standard.py --file "<FILE>" (Standard version fallback) |
Public URL
- By default, go directly to
asr_standard.py --url "<URL>" - Do not download locally, probe, transcode, and then route first
- Only when the Standard version actually fails, then decide based on the error whether to enter the local download/slicing chain
When hitting URL, large files, or slicing trade-offs, then read routing_strategy.md。

Feishu voice message processing flow
收到 audio 消息 → 音频文件已下载到 /root/.openclaw/media/inbound/ → 执行 asr_flash.py --file → 返回文字 → 当作用户消息处理
Common commands:
# 飞书语音文件（最常用，文件已被飞书插件自动下载）
python scripts/asr_flash.py --file "/root/.openclaw/media/inbound/xxxxx.ogg"
Error handling
PermissionError: MODEL_SPEECH_API_KEY ...→ Prompt the user to configure the API KeyASR 请求失败→ Check the API credentials and account音频时长超过 5 小时→ Prompt the user to split the file音频文件不存在/为空→ Check the file path- When encountering an error, directly inform the user of the specific error; do not attempt to substitute with whisper.
