Distinct from voiceover-maker:

voiceover-maker generates SPEECH from text. This goes the OPPOSITE direction: speech → text.
Both wrap an OpenAI audio API endpoint.

Distinct from subtitle-burner:

subtitle-burner takes an existing subtitle file and burns it into video. THIS skill GENERATES the subtitle file. Chain them: transcribe-maker → subtitle-burner.

This skill does NOT:

Translate the transcript (Whisper supports it via separate endpoint; not exposed in v1 — use OpenAI's /v1/audio/translations directly if needed)
Identify speakers / diarize (Whisper doesn't natively diarize — use deepgram or assemblyai for that)
Process files >25 MB (Whisper API limit — split with ffmpeg first)
Run locally (uses OpenAI API; for offline use whisper.cpp directly)
Edit / clean up transcript (raw Whisper output may have minor errors — manual cleanup needed for production captions)
