Transcribe Video

Transcribes any video/audio file locally using a bundled whisper.cpp service. No external project or cloud API. Returns word-level timestamps (needed for synced overlays/captions).

When to use

• "Transcribe this clip / video / audio", "get me a transcript with timestamps".
• As a sub-step of /produce-video.

How it runs

Everything is driven by the bundled runner — never ask the user to manage Docker:

node scripts/transcribe.mjs <path-to-video-or-audio> [--out <dir>] [--port 9111] [--language en] [--no-word-ts] [--task transcribe|translate]
node scripts/transcribe.mjs --stop      # stop the warm container
