Short answer

How can I turn audio files into text using my AI?

Give your AI a media URL, and it will trigger a transcription job via Verbit. You'll get text documents or caption files once the job finishes. This process covers everything from starting the task to pulling the final transcript.

Transcription outcomes

What you get from the transcription

These are the results your AI delivers after processing a media link.

TEXT

Text documents

The AI pulls the completed transcript. You get a clean text version of the audio for reading or analysis.

CAPTIONS

Caption files

The AI generates caption files from the media. These are ready to be used for video or audio playback.

STATUS

Job monitoring

Your AI tracks the progress of the transcription. You'll know exactly when the file is ready to be downloaded.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI provides the raw output. You still need to check the text for specific nuances or technical terms.

The workflow

What your AI does when a media URL arrives.

Your AI acts as the project manager for your transcription needs.

  1. Start the job

    The AI takes the media URL you provide and tells Verbit to begin transcribing.

    create_job

  2. Track progress

    The AI checks back on the task to see if the transcription is finished or still running.

    get_job

  3. Fetch results

    Once the status shows as complete, the AI grabs the final text content.

    get_transcript

  4. Verify status

    If a job fails or is still processing, the AI uses the same check to update you.

    get_job

FAQ

How the transcription task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI edit the transcript directly?

    No. The AI can only retrieve the transcript once it is finished. You must perform any edits yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle the actual audio processing?

    No. The AI only manages the jobs. Verbit performs the actual transcription work.

  • 03

    Can I ask the AI to delete a transcription job?

    No. There is no tool available to delete or cancel jobs through this MCP.

  • 04

    How does the AI know when the text is ready?

    The AI uses the job status tool to check if the transcription is complete before attempting to pull the text.

  • 05

    Can I provide a local file instead of a URL?

    No. The current tools require a media URL to initiate a job.
