aider: Added a function record_and_transcribe to aider/voice.py that records audio until the user presses a key, then submits it to the Whisper API to get the text back.

# Aider chat conversation:

USER: what file formats does the openai whisper api accept?

ASSISTANT: The OpenAI Whisper ASR API accepts audio data in the following formats:

- FLAC: Free Lossless Audio Codec. This is a lossless audio format that doesn't lose any data during compression. It's the recommended format for best performance.
- WAV: Waveform Audio File Format. This is a standard audio format used mainly in Windows PCs.
- MULAW: μ-law algorithm (or mu-law) is a companding algorithm, primarily used in the digital telecommunication systems of North America and Japan.

Please note that the audio data must be single-channel (mono), and the sample rate must be 16 kHz for FLAC and WAV formats, and 8 kHz for MULAW format.

USER: make a script that records audio until the user presses a key, then submits it to whisper to get the text back

ASSISTANT: To accomplish this, we need to create a new Python script that uses the `sounddevice` library to record audio, the `keyboard` library to listen for a key press, and the `openai.Whisper` API to transcribe the audio.

Here is the *edit block* for this new script:

```python
newfile/record_and_transcribe.py
<<<<<<< HEAD

=======
import sounddevice as sd
import numpy as np
import keyboard
import openai
import io
import os

# Set your OpenAI API key
openai.api_key = 'your-api-key'

# Set the sample rate and duration for the recording
sample_rate = 16000  # 16kHz
duration = 10  # in seconds

# Create a callback function to stop recording when a key is pressed
def on_key_press(e):
    print("Key pressed, stopping recording...")
    sd.stop()

# Start the recording
print("Recording started, press any key to stop...")
recording = sd.rec(int(sample_rate * duration), samplerate=sample_rate, channels=1, callback=on_key_press)

# Wait for a key press
keyboard.wait()

# Convert the recording to bytes
recording_bytes = io.BytesIO()
np.save(recording_bytes, recording, allow_pickle=False)
recording_bytes = recording_bytes.getvalue()

# Transcribe the audio using the Whisper API
response = openai.Whisper.asr.create(audio_data=recording_bytes)

# Print the transcription
print("Transcription: ", response['choices'][0]['text'])
>>>>>>> updated
```

Please replace `'your-api-key'` with your actual OpenAI API key. This script records audio for a maximum of 10 seconds, but it stops recording as soon as any key is pressed. The recorded audio is then transcribed using the Whisper API, and the transcription is printed to the console.

Please note that you need to install the `sounddevice`, `numpy`, `keyboard`, and `openai` Python libraries to run this script. You can install them using pip:

```bash
pip install sounddevice numpy keyboard openai
```

Also, please note that the `keyboard` library requires root privileges to work, so you might need to run your script as a superuser.

USER: make a function that records audio until the user presses a key, then submits it to whisper to get the text back

ASSISTANT: To create a function that accomplishes this, we need to modify the `aider/voice.py` file. The function should be named `record_and_transcribe` and it should use the `sounddevice` and `keyboard` libraries to record audio and listen for a key press, respectively. It should also use the `openai.Whisper` API to transcribe the audio.

Here is the *edit block* for this change:

```python
aider/voice.py
<<<<<<< HEAD

=======
import sounddevice as sd
import numpy as np
import keyboard
import openai
import io

def record_and_transcribe():
    # Set your OpenAI API key
    openai.api_key = 'your-api-key'

    # Set the sample rate and duration for the recording
    sample_rate = 16000  # 16kHz
    duration = 10  # in seconds

    # Create a callback function to stop recording when a key is pressed
    def on_key_press(e):
        print("Key pressed, stopping recording...")
        sd.stop()

    # Start the recording
    print("Recording started, press any key to stop...")
    recording = sd.rec(int(sample_rate * duration), samplerate=sample_rate, channels=1, callback=on_key_press)

    # Wait for a key press
    keyboard.wait()

    # Convert the recording to bytes
    recording_bytes = io.BytesIO()
    np.save(recording_bytes, recording, allow_pickle=False)
    recording_bytes = recording_bytes.getvalue()

    # Transcribe the audio using the Whisper API
    response = openai.Whisper.asr.create(audio_data=recording_bytes)

    # Return the transcription
    return response['choices'][0]['text']
>>>>>>> updated
```

Please replace `'your-api-key'` with your actual OpenAI API key. This function records audio for a maximum of 10 seconds, but it stops recording as soon as any key is pressed. The recorded audio is then transcribed using the Whisper API, and the transcription is returned by the function.

Please note that you need to install the `sounddevice`, `numpy`, `keyboard`, and `openai` Python libraries to use this function. You can install them using pip:

```bash
pip install sounddevice numpy keyboard openai
```

Also, please note that the `keyboard` library requires root privileges to work, so you might need to run your script as a superuser.
