// faq

Video to Text CLI, answered.

How do I transcribe a video from the command line? +

npx vocce create ./video.mp4 --ops transcribe,subtitles,summary. The CLI uploads, creates the job, and can poll until your exports are ready.

Can I batch-process many files? +

Yes — jobs are idempotent (same input, same job_id), so you can safely loop folders and retry without double-billing.

How do I get results into my system? +

Poll the job, download artifacts directly, or register a webhook and let results push to your queue or automation.

Is the output machine-readable? +

Every job can emit agent.v1 JSON with speaker turns, timestamps, and artifact links — the same schema across CLI, API, and MCP.
