Short answer

How can I get transcription text using my AI?

Your agent searches your Ebby library for specific files and pulls the text or subtitles directly into your chat. This lets you move content from video to text without manual copying. You'll see how the agent handles the data below.

Where the data lands.

The outcomes of the task.

The agent finds the files and brings the text to you.

TEXT

Raw transcription text

SUBTITLES

Subtitle file access
