Start Transcribing Media Files

Just drop a video or audio file into your agent. The `create_job` tool handles the heavy lifting by sending the media to Verbit for transcription. It returns a unique job ID right away. You use this ID later to track everything until the captioning is done.

Check Job Progress Status

Running a job can take time, so you need to know where it stands. The `get_job` tool lets your AI client check Verbit's progress using that job ID. You get real-time status updates—it tells you if the job is queued, processing, or finished.

Download Completed Transcripts

When the job finishes, you don't want to manually copy text. Use `get_transcript` with the job ID, and your agent will download the file. Verbit provides the transcript in multiple formats, so you can pick exactly what you need for captions or articles.
