Start a Transcription
The source file must be in a vault:
casedev transcribe run --vault VAULT_ID --object OBJECT_ID --json
Flags: --speaker-labels (diarization), --speakers-expected N, --language, --format, --auto-highlights.
Check Status
casedev transcribe status TRANSCRIPTION_ID --json
Statuses: queued -> processing -> completed or failed.
Get Result
casedev transcribe result TRANSCRIPTION_ID --json
Fetches transcript text. Fails if the job is not yet completed.
Watch Until Complete
casedev transcribe watch TRANSCRIPTION_ID --json
Flags: --interval (default: 3s), --timeout (default: 900s).
Common Workflow
# 1. Upload to vault
casedev vault object upload ./deposition-recording.mp3 --vault VAULT_ID --json
# 2. Start transcription with speaker labels
casedev transcribe run --vault VAULT_ID --object OBJECT_ID --speaker-labels --speakers-expected 4 --json
# 3. Watch until complete
casedev transcribe watch TRANSCRIPTION_ID --json
Troubleshooting
"Invalid file type for transcribe": Only audio/video MIME types accepted. Check with casedev vault object list.
Transcription failed: Check casedev transcribe status TRANSCRIPTION_ID --json for error details. Common causes: corrupted file, unsupported codec, file too large.
Long audio (2+ hours): Increase timeout with --timeout 3600.
