+name: transform-transcribe-audio-with-transloadit
+description: One-off transcription of local audio or video files to text or subtitle files using Transloadit via the official `@transloadit/node` CLI. Use when the user wants speech in local media converted to `.txt`, `.json`, `.srt`, or `.webvtt`; prefer the `speech transcribe` intent with Replicate while ElevenLabs Scribe is not ready.
+---
+
+# Transcribe Audio or Video with Transloadit
+
+## Use this for
+
+- Local audio or video files that should become text transcripts or subtitle files
+- One or many files, with outputs downloaded locally
+- Agent workflows where credentials may already be in the shell, a local `.env`, or
+  `~/.transloadit/credentials`
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Absolute path to one or more local audio or video files
+- Optional output path; default is the same basename with `.txt`
+- Optional format: `text`, `json`, `srt`, or `webvtt`
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Confirm each input file exists and resolve it to an absolute path.
+2. Derive the output path:
+   - Single input and no requested output: same directory and basename with `.txt`
+   - Multiple inputs and no requested output: a `transcripts/` directory next to the inputs
+   - Use `.json`, `.srt`, or `.webvtt` when the user asks for that format
+3. Let the CLI resolve auth automatically in this order:
+   - Shell environment variables
+   - The current working directory `.env` only
+   - `~/.transloadit/credentials`
+   If your `.env` lives in a parent directory, export the variables into the shell first.
+4. Run the transcription with the official CLI intent:
+
+```bash
+npx -y @transloadit/node speech transcribe --input /ABS/PATH/input.opus --output /ABS/PATH/input.txt
+```
+
+For multiple files, repeat `--input` and write to an output directory:
+
+```bash
+npx -y @transloadit/node speech transcribe \
+  --input /ABS/PATH/a.opus \
+  --input /ABS/PATH/b.opus \
+  --output /ABS/PATH/transcripts/
+```
+
+## Options
+
+- Default format: `text`
+- Other formats: `--format json`, `--format srt`, `--format webvtt`
+- Default provider: `replicate` until ElevenLabs Scribe is ready
+- Supported explicit providers: `--provider aws`, `--provider gcp`, `--provider replicate`
+- Do not use `--provider transloadit`; that internal Whisper route is work in progress
+- Use `--source-language <code>` when the input language is known
+- Use `--target-language <code>` when translation is requested
+
+## Notes
+
+- Prefer `@transloadit/node`; it is the official CLI route and exposes `speech transcribe`.
+- If the command errors with a missing subcommand, update to a newer `@transloadit/node` release
+  that includes the speech transcription intent.
+- Keep secrets local-only; never print `TRANSLOADIT_SECRET` or copy it into browser code.
+- After transcription, confirm each expected output file exists and is non-empty.
