Hey everyone! I’m trying to set up a system that can automatically check a Discord server daily and grab new voice messages from one particular user. Ideally, it would:
- Find the direct links to these messages
- Create pretty accurate transcripts of the audio
It’d be awesome if it could send me the results via DM or put them in a spreadsheet or something.
Has anyone done something like this before? Any tips on how to get started? I’m not super tech-savvy, so even basic advice would be super helpful.
Oh, and if there’s a way to do this with some kind of no-code tool, that’d be amazing too!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! 
I’ve actually implemented something similar for a client recently. While I can’t share specifics, I can offer some general guidance.
You’ll want to look into Discord’s API and bot development. There are libraries like discord.py that can help. For the voice transcription, you might consider using a service like Google’s Speech-to-Text API.
The trickiest part is likely to be isolating messages from a specific user and handling voice data. You’ll need to set up event listeners and figure out how to capture and process the audio streams.
As for no-code solutions, I’m not aware of any that can handle this level of complexity out of the box. You might need to enlist a developer or dive into coding yourself.
Just be mindful of Discord’s terms of service and the user’s privacy when implementing something like this. Make sure you have the necessary permissions and consider the ethical implications.
hey man, i kno a bit about this stuff. u could try using a discord bot library like discord.js and hook it up to a speech recognition API. might be tricky to get the audio data tho. make sure ur not breaking any rules or invading ppls privacy. good luck!
I’ve worked on similar projects before. The key is combining Discord’s API with a reliable speech-to-text service. You’ll need to set up a bot that can access voice channels and capture audio streams. For transcription, consider using something like Amazon Transcribe or Google’s Speech-to-Text API.
Implementing this isn’t trivial. You’ll need to handle Discord’s rate limits, manage audio data efficiently, and ensure your bot doesn’t violate any terms of service. Storing results in a database or cloud storage would be more robust than DMs or spreadsheets.
If you’re not comfortable coding, you might want to hire a developer. There’s no off-the-shelf solution for this specific task. Remember to get explicit permission from the user you’re targeting and the server owner before proceeding.
