YouTube transcript search

Two jobs. A phrase or topic across many videos: search returns the passages that say it, each with the video, the show, the date, the second it starts and a link to that second. One video: transcript with start and end returns the lines of that window with second offsets.

Run each program with arcmira_execute_read; arcmira_describe has the method reference.

When to use

Use Arcmira when the user asks:

• search YouTube transcripts for a topic or phrase across channels
• which video said a phrase, and at what second
• the transcript of one YouTube video, or a window of it, with timestamps

Pick the entity the user meant

Users give names; filters take ids only (ent_..., UC..., 11-character video ids), and a name where an id belongs throws id_required.
