How to transcribe media files with your AI

Connect 3Scribe to your agent once. From then on, you just provide a link and your agent handles the rest.

Short answer

How can I turn a video or audio URL into text?

Paste a public URL into your chat and tell your agent to transcribe it. The AI uses 3Scribe to generate a transcript with timestamps and speaker IDs. You'll get a structured text output ready for use.

Transcription results

What you get from the AI

The transcription process delivers three specific data points.

TEXT

Full text transcripts

The AI converts the audio or video into written words. You get a complete text version of the media.

TIME

Precise timestamps

Each line of text is tagged with a timestamp. This lets you find specific moments in the original file.

WHO

Speaker identification

The AI detects different voices and assigns IDs to them. You'll see exactly who is speaking in the transcript.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You'll need to review the text for accuracy if the audio is noisy. The AI provides the raw data for you to check.

The workflow

What your AI does when a URL arrives.

Your agent manages the transcription lifecycle using 3Scribe.

  1. Initiate transcription

    Your agent sends the media URL to the connector to start a new transcription job.

    create_job

  2. Check status

    The agent periodically checks if the transcription is finished or still processing.

    get_job

  3. Retrieve data

    Once the job is complete, the agent pulls the transcript, timestamps, and speaker IDs.

    get_job

  4. Present transcript

    The agent delivers the final text directly into your chat interface.

    get_job

FAQ

How the task behaves

  • 01

    Can I transcribe files from my computer?

    No. The AI can only process media via public URLs.

    Does the AI edit the original video?

    No. The AI only reads the media to create text; it cannot change the file.

  • 03

    Can the AI identify multiple speakers?

    Yes. The transcription includes speaker IDs to distinguish between different voices.

  • 04

    Will the AI save the transcript to a file for me?

    No. The AI provides the transcript in the chat, and you must save it yourself.
