A bunch of code I wrote to aid me in my university courses

This Python script provides functionality to transcribe audio files in .m4a/.mp3 format to text using the Google Speech Recognition API in bulk. It also includes a step to normalize the audio files to -1.0dB before converting them to .wav format. All of the transcriptions are stored in a separate folder and combined into a combined.txt file containing all of them sorted.

The following is required to run the script:

• Python 3.x
• SpeechRecognition
• pydub
• tqdm
• openai_whisper
• torch

You can install these libraries using pip:

pip install SpeechRecognition pydub tqdm openai_whisper torch

1. Place your .m4a/.mp3 audio files in the specified directory.
2. Run the script using the command python script.py.
3. The script will transcribe each .m4a/.mp3 file to text using the Whisper API.
4. The transcriptions will be saved as .txt files in the same directory.
5. The script will also create a combined text file named combined.txt that contains the contents of all the individual .txt files.

A Python script to manage tags within the YAML front matter of Markdown files, specifically designed for bulk adding or removing tags in markdown files within a directory. This script is particularly useful for managing tags in Markdown files used in applications like Obsidian.

• Add Tags: Automatically adds a specified tag to the YAML front matter of all Markdown files in a given directory. If the file already contains the tag or lacks a front matter, the script intelligently updates or creates the necessary structure.
• Remove Tags: Removes a specified tag from the YAML front matter of all Markdown files in a given directory. If the tag isn't present in a file, the script skips it.

• Python 3.x

1. Clone or Download the Script

2. Specify the Directory and Tag: In the script, replace path/to/your/obsidian/folder with the actual path to your directory containing Markdown files. Similarly, replace yourtag with the actual tag you want to add or remove.

   directory_path = "path/to/your/obsidian/folder" # Replace with your directory path
   tag = "yourtag" # Replace with your desired tag
   

3. Run the Script: Choose the operation you want to perform—adding or removing tags—and run the script.

To add a tag to all Markdown files in the specified directory:

add_tag_to_files(directory_path, tag)

To remove a tag from all Markdown files in the specified directory:

remove_tag_from_files(directory_path, tag)

This script operates directly on files in the specified directory. It's recommended to back up your Markdown files before running the script to prevent data loss.
