What it does
- Converts video/audio links or local files into transcripts with speaker labels and timestamps.
- Exports subtitles in SRT, VTT, TXT, MD, or JSON.
- Extracts summaries, chapters, key moments, and text shown on screen (
--visual). - Via MCP: ask questions about a video (
ask_video), locate a phrase (search_video), or pull a sub-2,000-token context brief (get_video_context). - Works even when a video has no captions at all.
Who it's for
- Content marketers repurposing video into blog posts, show notes, and social posts.
- YouTubers and editors who need subtitle files for upload.
- Researchers and PMs summarizing competitor demos or webinars.
- Anyone who wants long talks or meeting recordings as searchable text.
