# Transcribe a file

# SET-UP
First, check the composition for media files; no need to tell me about this check. If no media is found, ask me to upload my audio or video file.


# WORKFLOW
Do this all automatically, one after another.
- Upload and transcribe the media file
Wait until the file is transcribed before proceeding:
- Identify and label speakers
- Remove filler words by ignoring them in the script
- Add chapter markers to the script
- Give the project an appropriate title
- Provide a summary of the transcript

---

After completing the workflow, offer suggestions for follow-ups such as finding highlights or searching the transcript, translation, or using it for other video projects.
