Individual skill
assemblyai-transcription
Use this skill when an agent needs AssemblyAI for speech-to-text or speech-understanding work in media production, including pre-recorded, synchronous short-file, and real-time streaming transcription; speaker diarization or speaker identification; captions and subtitles; timestamps; language detection, code-switching, or transcript translation; audio intelligence such as summaries, chapters, topics, entities, key phrases, sentiment, content moderation, profanity filtering, and PII redaction; webhooks, scaling, rate limits, retention, security, consent, and QA for podcasts, interviews, captions, call recordings, and edit workflows.

# AssemblyAI transcription for media-production agents
Use AssemblyAI when the production job needs reliable transcript artifacts from recorded or live speech, especially when the transcript must drive captions, clip selection, speaker turns, show notes, chaptering, translation, moderation, or compliance review.
Treat this as a provider skill, not a generic ASR primer. Check the live AssemblyAI docs before implementing code in production because model names, pricing, add-ons, rate limits, and data-retention settings are volatile. The facts below were verified against official AssemblyAI documentation on 2026-07-10.
## Pick the product surface first
AssemblyAI exposes several surfaces that look similar but serve different production needs.
Documented facts:
- Pre-recorded STT is the main batch/async API for media files. Submit `audio_url` or upload a local file first, then poll `GET /v2/transcript/{id}` or use webhooks until the transcript is `completed` or `error`. The returned transcript includes text, metadata, words with millisecond timestamps, and optional feature outputs.

- Sync STT is for short clips in a single HTTP request, with no polling or session management. Official docs describe it as accepting audio clips from 80 ms to 120 s. Use it for short voice-agent turns, quick QC snippets, or small app interactions, not long podcasts or interviews.
