Transcribe Google Drive audio to text and send via email

This automation template helps users transcribe audio files stored in their Google Drive using the OpenAI Whisper AI model, and then automatically deliver the transcribed text via email. It provides a convenient way to convert audio recordings into text-based content that can be easily shared and referenced.

The workflow is manually triggered, requiring the user to specify the Google Drive folder containing the audio files. The template then retrieves the files, transcribes them using the OpenAI Whisper API, and constructs an email message with the transcribed text, which is then sent to the designated recipient.
