## What it does

Search by topic or speaker, then fetch transcript lines with time offsets. Results can include the quoted words, speaker, episode, date, and a link that opens at the relevant moment. Clip boundaries come from the transcript lines.

Names must first be matched to indexed entities: filters accept IDs, not names. If several matches fit, the skill asks the user to choose. When a transcript cannot be read, it can use the search passage instead; machine captions are left as they are, so check the video before relying on exact wording.

Caption reads use 4 credits for each started 15-minute segment in the requested window, or for the full episode when there is no window. A Premium read uses credits for the entire video regardless of the window. The skill uses Arcmira.
