We use uv for managing virtual environments and package installation. Follow these steps to set up the project:

On macOS and Linux:

# Download the setup script
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourusername/audio_transcriber/main/setup.sh

# Make the script executable

These scripts will:

1. Install uv if it's not already installed
2. Create a virtual environment
3. Activate the virtual environment
4. Install all required packages

from audio_transcriber import initialize_models, transcribe_audio, diarize_audio

# Initialize models
initialize_models()

# Transcribe audio
transcription = transcribe_audio("path/to/your/audio/file.mp3")
print(transcription)

# Diarize audio (if available)
diarization = diarize_audio("path/to/your/audio/file.mp3")
for turn, _, speaker in diarization.itertracks(yield_label=True):
    print(f"Speaker {speaker}: {turn.start:.2f} - {turn.end:.2f}")
