Audio Report V-test

A simple audio transcription workflow that converts audio recordings into text using OpenAI's transcription service. This workflow appears to be in a testing phase for voice note processing capabilities.

Purpose

No business context provided yet — add a context.md to enrich this documentation.

Based on the workflow tags (VoiceNote Reports, Content, AI agent), this appears to be designed for processing voice recordings into text format, likely as part of a content creation or reporting system.

How It Works

This is a minimal workflow with a single operation:

  1. Audio Transcription: Takes an audio file and uses OpenAI's Whisper API to convert speech to text

The workflow is currently archived and inactive, suggesting it's either a test version or has been superseded by a more complete implementation.

Trigger

This workflow has no configured trigger (triggerCount: 0). It would need to be executed manually or called by another workflow.

Nodes Used

Node Name Type Purpose
Transcribe a recording OpenAI (LangChain) Converts audio files to text using OpenAI's transcription service

External Services & Credentials Required

  • OpenAI API: Requires an OpenAI API key for accessing the transcription service
    • Credential type: OpenAI API credentials
    • Permissions needed: Audio transcription access

Environment Variables

No specific environment variables are configured in this workflow. The OpenAI credentials would be managed through n8n's credential system.

Data Flow

Input: Audio file (supported formats depend on OpenAI's API - typically MP3, MP4, MPEG, MPGA, M4A, WAV, WEBM)

Output: Transcribed text from the audio content

Processing: The audio file is sent to OpenAI's Whisper API, which returns the transcribed text.

Error Handling

No explicit error handling is configured in this workflow. Errors would rely on n8n's default error handling: - API failures would stop execution - Invalid audio formats would return API errors - Network issues would cause workflow failure

Known Limitations

  • Single-node workflow with no additional processing
  • No error handling or retry logic
  • No output formatting or post-processing
  • Archived status suggests it may be incomplete or deprecated

No related workflows are specified in the current context.

Setup Instructions

  1. Import the Workflow

    • Copy the workflow JSON
    • In n8n, go to Workflows > Import from JSON
    • Paste the JSON and save

  2. Configure Credentials

    • Set up OpenAI credentials in n8n
    • Add your OpenAI API key
    • Assign the credential to the "Transcribe a recording" node

  3. Test the Workflow

    • Provide an audio file as input
    • Execute the workflow manually
    • Verify the transcription output

  4. Add a Trigger (if needed)

    • Add a webhook, file trigger, or manual trigger
    • Configure the trigger to provide audio file data
    • Connect the trigger to the transcription node

  5. Activate the Workflow

    • Currently archived - you'll need to unarchive it first
    • Set active to true to enable automatic execution

Note: This appears to be a test workflow. Consider reviewing if a more complete version exists before implementing in production.
