# Transcription For newly imported local/client-held media, use `import_media` to start transcription, then wait with `track_progress`. Typical flow: 1. `read_project` with `view: "assets"` to get the video/audio asset ID and transcript status. 2. If this is a fresh client-held import, make sure it went through `import_media action=create_session` plus the OpenChatCut media import helper. 3. Call `track_progress` with `action:"wait"`, `target:"transcription"`, and `assetIds` set to the asset ID or prefix. 4. Use `find_transcript` to search transcript text and confirm word timestamps. 5. Use `edit_captions` action `enable` or `read_captions` as needed once transcription is ready. Example: ```json { "action": "wait", "target": "transcription", "assetIds": "13c1aa02cd" } ``` Uploaded assets start ASR automatically on ingest, but nothing waits for it. Always use `track_progress` for readiness. For local-only video assets with `local-only; original upload deferred` in `read_project`, transcription cannot run until the bytes are reachable by the backend. Import the source again via the `asset-import` skill (which uploads to S3) or `download_media` from a public URL; do not ask the user to relink it manually in the editor. ## Stuck Transcription And Retry Do not declare transcription stuck from one non-terminal status. Base the decision on both asset length and the time the agent has actually waited in this task. 1. Read the asset with `read_project` `view: "assets"`...
