Can I transcribe videos on this page?

No. This utility does not transcribe video files in-browser. It builds a transcript workflow and chapter template.

What should I use for the actual transcription?

Use Sotto on macOS for private local transcription, then run cleanup in transcript utilities.

Can I convert pasted subtitles here?

Yes. Paste any rough transcript or subtitle text and the tool will add chapter placeholders and exportable transcript structure.

## Cleanup plan
- Replace repeated lines and remove accidental stutters.
- Mark uncertain words with [unclear].
- Run transcript cleaner after raw transcription in Sotto.

After transcription, run transcript utilities from this same cluster for cleaner output and blog-ready repurposing.

This is a planning helper, not a transcription engine. Use Sotto for private, local, in-app video/audio transcription.
