That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Reel
An MCP server that turns a video into text, on this Mac.
Point it at any video ffmpeg can read. It extracts the sound, splits it on silence when the video is long, has utt transcribe each piece on-device, and hands the stitched transcript back to whichever assistant asked. Reel also appears as a settings page inside utt, listing the videos it has transcribed.

brew install ffmpeg)utt, running

hints are words a recogniser tends to get wrong — names, products, repos.
Near misses are corrected to them.
Settings, inside utt
Let assistants turn video into text — the switch that turns every request away.
Keep a list of the videos — what the page shows.
Save the words beside the video — leaves a
.txtnext to each file.
