| Name | Description |

| transcribe_urlA | Transcribe a video from URL using three-tier strategy. Tier 1: Extract platform subtitles (zero cost, fastest) Tier 2: Download audio + Whisper local transcription (offline, free) Tier 3: Return guidance for closed platforms (Xiaohongshu/WeChat) For videos under 30 minutes, use sync mode (default) for direct results. For longer videos, set async_mode=true to get a task_id, then poll with get_transcript_status. Adjust segment_minutes for 1h+ videos. |
| transcribe_fileA | Transcribe a local audio/video file using Whisper. Supports mp3, m4a, mp4, wav, flac, and other FFmpeg-compatible formats. For files over 30 minutes, use async_mode=true. Adjust segment_minutes for 1h+ files to reduce segment count. |
