The node is designed for simplicity. Its primary operation is Transcribe file into text.

A typical workflow structure: 1. Trigger: (e.g., Email Trigger, Google Drive Trigger, or Webhook) receiving an audio file. 2. Transcribe Node: Inputs the binary file and outputs the text string. 3. Action: (e.g., Send to OpenAI, Save to Google Sheets, or Slack) using the transcribed text.

Note: Ensure your previous node outputs the audio file in a binary format that n8n can read.
