Transcribe video/audio URL to text + word-level timestamps using Bilibili Bcut ASR API (free, no API key). Preferred for Chinese content โ Bcut gives character-level timestamps vs Whisper word-level. Returns text + segments [{start, end, text}]. Requires yt-dlp + ffmpeg.
Transcribe video/audio URL or local file to text + SRT using yt-dlp + Groq Whisper API (free tier). Preferred default for v2 transcription. Returns raw text and segments; summary is caller's responsibility.
Transcribe video/audio URL or local file to text + SRT using yt-dlp + OpenAI Whisper API. Paid fallback for v2 transcription when Groq is rate-limited or unavailable. Returns raw text and segments; summary is caller's responsibility.
Transcribe video/audio URL or local file to text + SRT using yt-dlp + local mlx-whisper (Apple Silicon). Free, offline, fastest on M-series Macs. Opt-in advanced path for users with Apple Silicon + mlx-whisper installed. Returns raw text and segments; summary is caller's responsibility.
Deep URL fetch using crawl4ai (Playwright-powered) for JS-rendered pages, anti-bot sites, and dynamic content. Slower than fetch-jina but handles sites that block simple fetchers. Requires user-installed crawl4ai package.

podcast_cn searches the Apple iTunes China store for Chinese-language podcast shows, which is useful when the query is better served by long-form discussion, founder interviews, or experience-sharing content rather than short articles or social posts.
country=cn restricts results to the China store catalog and can differ from other Apple storefronts.
