Gettr Transcribe
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
It appears designed to do what it says—download GETTR media and create a local transcript—but it uses browser automation, network media downloads, and third-party command-line tools.
Before installing, be comfortable with browser-based extraction of a GETTR media URL, installing ffmpeg and mlx-whisper, and storing audio/transcript files locally under the output directory. Avoid using it on private or auth-gated content unless you intentionally provide the media URL.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The skill can make network requests to download media and create local transcript files.
The pipeline passes a user- or browser-derived media URL into ffmpeg. This is central to the skill's purpose, but users should ensure the URL is the intended GETTR media URL.
Accepts any ffmpeg-compatible input: direct .m4a files, HLS .m3u8 streams, or MP4 URLs.
Use it only with GETTR URLs or media URLs you intend to process, and review the output directory if re-running on the same slug.
Installation depends on third-party packages and their current upstream contents.
The skill relies on external command-line dependencies installed from package managers. This is expected for local transcription, but package provenance and versions are not pinned in the artifacts.
