Overview

auparse_get_record_text is a command-line utility that extracts the text content from an audio file. It is particularly useful for converting audio to text transcripts, such as interviews, lectures, and podcasts.

Common Issues

• grep to filter the transcript for specific keywords.
• sed to perform text manipulation or formatting.
