transcription

name: transcription description: Use when a video/audio task needs OpenChatCut transcription, captions, subtitles, subtitle styling, transcript search, transcript readiness checks, or enabling captions, including local or attached videos where the user asks to add captions/subtitles, transcribe, create bilingual subtitles, clean talking-head speech, remove filler words, or trim pauses.

Transcription

For newly imported local/client-held media, use import_media to start transcription, then wait with track_progress.

Typical flow:

1. read_project with view: "assets" to get the video/audio asset ID and transcript status.
2. If this is a fresh client-held import, make sure it went through import_media action=create_session plus the OpenChatCut media import helper.
3. Call track_progress with action:"wait", target:"transcription", and assetIds set to the asset ID or prefix.
4. Use find_transcript to search transcript text and confirm word timestamps.
5. Use edit_captions action enable or read_captions as needed once transcription is ready.

Example:

{
  "action": "wait",
  "target": "transcription",
  "assetIds": "13c1aa02cd"
}
