## What it does

The skill passes video links to the `eachsense/beta` model to transcribe spoken dialogue into timestamped text. It outputs standalone files in SRT, VTT, or JSON formats, and can also burn captions directly into an MP4 file.

Beyond simple transcripts, it separates multiple voices via diarization and handles multi-language translations. For short-form clips, it applies word-by-word highlighted text animations.

You must configure an `EACHLABS_API_KEY` in your environment, because media processing happens on remote eachlabs servers rather than on your local machine.
