Can't track down "ts" from original fabric install

[Deathsushi]

Hello — I installed Fabric on one computer about 6-10 months back. I've been using a ts command to transcribe local video, before I run it through fabric.

I cannot, for the life of me, track down this ts command anywhere, nor know how I installed it — I don't have notes of how I began it with my workflow, but it's a part of it. I'm now trying to install the same setup on another computer, and need some help to determine what this tool I'm using is. I believe it's a part of an older fabric install.

Can someone help me out? This is the output of my 'which ts':

/Users/adam/.local/bin/ts

When I go to that folder and list the contents, I get this:

ts -> /Users/adam/.local/pipx/venvs/fabric/bin/ts

Thank you in advance 🙏

If they archived the old fabric code from the python days, and I can find it, I will look into it and figure it out.

I really appreciate this — thank you. --Adam

So, I found the first occurrence of the 'ts' application you were talking about. It first occurs in Fabric 1.3.0, which I found in the version archive. After downloading and unzipping just a few of the very first version, I found it. I went into the ts.py file and I see that it uses Whisper by OpenAI to transcribe audio to text.

You should easily find it here: https://github.com/danielmiessler/fabric/releases?page=12

Again, the first appearance of 'ts' is in version 1.3.0 and it has maybe three dependencies, so you would have to spin it up in a virtual environment to try it out. You might have been using more refined or later versions, too. I don't know the exact time period you were originally using it, so I can't speak to what version you remember using.

That’s fantastic — thank you so much for looking into this for me 🙏

You're very welcome. I never seem to mind helping a fellow Fabric aficionado! Looking into those old versions of Fabric was interesting. I made a series of unofficial video documentations on fabric, and my next series of videos will be about llamafile. Within the llamafile project, there is a whisperfile that I have to build for the videos, and it might be exactly what you need. It will be a couple of weeks, I bet, before I get to building a whisperfile. But when I do, it will be a standalone piece of software that operates offline at the command line (it's a CLI tool just like Fabric) and is very high quality. I will let you know when it is built. I plan on integrating it with my Fabric AI CLI workflow immediately, and will probably integrate it via the Fabric Extensions. Super fun to do these things.
