Managing transcription workflows usually means jumping between a browser, a file manager, and a project tracker. You have to upload files one by one, copy over job IDs, and keep refreshing pages to see if the work is done. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent handle the heavy lifting. You can tell your agent to start a transcription job by just giving it a link. It handles the handoff to Verbit and gives you a job ID to keep track of. Instead of manual checking, you can ask your agent for a status update whenever you want. When the file is ready, the agent can pull the finished transcript into the format you need, whether that's a text file for a report or a subtitle file for a video. It's a way to keep your media production moving without getting bogged down in the administrative side of speech-to-text. By adding this to your setup on Vinkius, you turn a multi-step manual process into a simple conversation with your agent. You can focus on the content while the agent handles the technical details of the transcription pipeline. ## Tools ### get_transcript Download the final transcript in multiple formats like TXT, JSON, or DOCX. This pulls the finished work directly into your workflow. ### create_job Start a new transcription request by providing a media URL and language. It handles the initial upload and setup for you. ### get_job Check the current status of a specific transcription request. Use this to see if your file is still processing or ready for download. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Start a transcription job for this interview: https://media.example.com/audio/123.mp3 ``` **Response:** ``` I've started the transcription job for your file. The Job ID is 'vbt_4421'. I'll let you know when it's ready for download. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the status of job vbt_4421? ``` **Response:** ``` Checking the status... Job 'vbt_4421' is currently at 85% progress and is in the 'In Progress' state. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Get the transcript for vbt_4421 in Word format. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved the transcript for job 'vbt_4421' in DOCX format. You can find the file in your downloads now. ``` ## Capabilities ### Start new transcription jobs Tell your agent to begin processing a media file via a URL. ### Check transcription progress Get real-time status updates on any active job. ### Download finished transcripts Retrieve completed files in formats like DOCX, JSON, or VTT. ### Tag jobs with external IDs Keep your transcripts organized with your own internal project numbers. ### Request specific languages Specify the target language during the initial job creation. ## Use Cases ### Creating captions for a YouTube series A creator asks the agent to start a job for a video link and then requests the SRT file for the final edit. ### Processing legal depositions A legal assistant uses the agent to transcribe a long recording and save it as a DOCX for the case file. ### Tracking a high-volume media queue A producer asks the agent for a status update on five different job IDs to see what's ready. ### Automating academic research notes A researcher transcribes several interviews and pulls the JSON files into their research folder. ## Benefits - Skip the manual upload process by using create_job to start transcription tasks via URLs. - Stop refreshing browser tabs by using get_job to check status updates instantly. - Get your files faster by pulling transcripts into your workspace using get_transcript. - Keep your projects organized by tagging jobs with your own internal IDs during creation. - Save time on captioning by requesting specific formats like SRT or VTT for your videos. ## How It Works The bottom line is you can manage your entire transcription pipeline through a single chat interface. 1.
