Voice Extractor
Extract authentic voice characteristics from transcripts to enhance author profiles.
Purpose
Transform transcript data (podcasts, interviews, meetings, videos) into actionable writing guidelines that capture an author's authentic voice, making AI-generated content sound natural and personal.
When to Use
- Author has recordings/transcripts of themselves speaking
- Want to capture authentic speaking patterns
- Need to enhance a manually-created author profile
- Building a new author profile from scratch using transcripts
- Refining an existing profile with more data
Workflow
1. Prepare Transcripts
Accept transcripts in these formats:
- Plain text:
Speaker: text - Timestamped:
[00:01:23] Speaker: textor59:54 Speaker: text - Bracketed:
[Speaker]: text - WhatsApp:
[17:30, 12/6/2025] Speaker: text - SRT subtitles: Standard subtitle format
If user provides audio/video without transcript: Suggest transcription services:
- YouTube auto-captions (downloadable)
- Otter.ai, Descript
- OpenAI Whisper (local)
- Rev.com
2. Run Analysis
# List speakers in transcript
bun run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/scripts/voice-extractor.ts --list-speakers transcript.txt
# Extract for specific speaker
bun run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/scripts/voice-extractor.ts --speaker "Name" transcript.txt
# Multiple transcripts (more data = better profile)
bun run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/scripts/voice-extractor.ts --speaker "Name" t1.txt t2.txt t3.txt
# Output JSON for direct use with author profiles
bun run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/scripts/voice-extractor.ts --speaker "Name" --json transcript.txt
3. Enhance Author Profile
The extracted data enhances these author fields:
| Extracted Data | Maps To |
|---|---|
| Communication style | tone.formality, tone.opinionated |
| Characteristic expressions | phrases.signature |
| Sentence starters | phrases.signature |
| Signature vocabulary | vocabulary.use_freely |
| Speaking style | notes |
4. Manual Enhancement
After automated extraction, read transcript samples to identify:
- Unique phrases: Catchphrases missed by frequency analysis
- Humor style: Sarcasm, self-deprecation, wit patterns
- Story structure: How they set up anecdotes
- Cultural markers: Regional expressions, analogies
- Topic emphasis: What makes them animated
What Gets Extracted
