What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides users through the end-to-end transcription workflow, turning local videos and YouTube content into accurate transcripts for downstream analysis and knowledge extraction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Input gathering: Collects video source, language, and domain vocabulary to improve transcription accuracy.
  • Transcription: Uses gpt-4o-transcribe to convert audio/video content into transcripts with timestamps.
  • Workflow orchestration: Manages the lifecycle from input gathering to results, including job IDs and progress updates.
  • Use Case: Transcribe a lecture video and obtain a searchable transcript with word-level timestamps for later KG extraction.

Quick Start

Run the transcription helper with a video file path (e.g., /videos/lecture.mp4) and optional language code (e.g., en). The skill will initiate Phase 1, create a background transcription job, and present results upon completion.
