Perplexity

Quickly transcribe files with Claude Desktop

Upload audio files using `upload_audio_file` to get them into the system. Once the file is ready, trigger `init_transcription` to convert your speech to text. Claude Desktop handles the heavy lifting, allowing you to parse long recordings without switching tabs. Use `get_transcription` to check your results once the process finishes.

Manage your audio history

Keep your workspace clean by calling `list_transcriptions` to see every job you have run. It's the fastest way to find a specific audio file you processed last week. If you find old data you no longer need, use `delete_transcription` to clear it out. This keeps your project history relevant and easy to navigate.

Live streaming for immediate feedback

Start a real-time session using `init_live_session` when you need instant results. Your AI client receives the data stream as it happens. This is ideal for live calls where you need to reference what was just said. It removes the wait time associated with batch processing.
