About:
Distill-CLI is a command-line tool that leverages AWS Transcribe for speech-to-text conversion and AWS Bedrock for generative AI summarization. It automates the workflow of processing audio files into concise, actionable summaries. This tool is ideal for developers and analysts looking to extract key insights from meetings, interviews, or lectures without manual effort.

Key Features:

Automated transcription via AWS Transcribe
AI-powered summarization using AWS Bedrock models
Simple command-line interface for batch processing
Supports common audio formats (MP3, WAV, M4A)

Use Cases:

Generating meeting notes and action items from recorded calls
Creating summaries of long-form audio content like lectures or podcasts
Transcribing and summarizing user interviews for research analysis

Alternatives:

whisper-cli – Uses local OpenAI Whisper models instead of cloud AWS services, requiring local GPU/CPU resources.
aws-cli (transcribe & bedrock) – Requires manual orchestration of multiple commands and scripting to achieve the same pipeline.
