MacOS Quick Action for Diarizing Audio Files

[yogat3ch]

I created a shell script which you can duplicate in your local whisper-diarization directory as diarize_action.sh that manages the execution of diarize.py.

Steps to Setup Shell Script

1. Create diarize_action.sh in your whisper-diarization directory
2. Copy paste the contents of the shell script below, and set the appropriate paths in the script.

#!/bin/zsh

# SET THE PATH to the whisper-diarization project
PROJECT_DIR="/Users/[username]/path/to/whisper-diarization"
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" || exit

# SET THE PATH to the python interpreter (pyenv shim)
PYTHON_PATH="/Users/[username]/.pyenv/shims/python3"

# Check if arguments were passed
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    osascript -e 'display dialog "No files selected." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" with title "Whisper-Diarization"'
    exit 0
fi

for f in "$@"; do
    # Check if the file exists and is readable
    if [ ! -f "$f" ]; then
        continue
    fi
    
    # Run the diarization script
    # We use full path to python and capture output to log just in case
    "$PYTHON_PATH" diarize.py -a "$f" >> "$PROJECT_DIR/action_execution.log" 2>&1
done
echo -e "\a"
# Send a notification when done
osascript -e 'display notification "Transcription and Diarization complete" with title "Whisper-Diarization"'

3. Give the script the necessary permissions by running the command below from the command line in the directory of the script:

chmod +x diarize_action.sh
