Answer the user's question from evidence you actually inspected. Honour supplied timestamps. Speech-only questions may need just a transcript; demonstrations, movement, and on-screen details need visual inspection. A whole-video summary needs coverage across the video.
Transcribe narrated videos
If someone may be talking, get a transcript even when the question sounds visual. The speaker often explains what the frames cannot show. Examples:
- gameplay and playtest recordings, where the player reports bugs and requests as they play
- bug reproductions, QA runs, and screen recordings narrated by the person recording
- product demos, tutorials, and walkthroughs
- meetings, interviews, lectures, and voice notes
Skip transcription for silent footage, music-only clips, or a question about one moment that has no speech. When unsure, check the audio for speech before deciding.
Prefer existing captions. Without them, transcribe locally with whisper.cpp, installing it once if it is missing, as described in the commands reference. Do not upload audio to an online transcription service unless the user agrees.
