Transcription identifies words; diarization estimates which speaker spoke when. A label such as Speaker 1 does not establish a person’s identity. Overlapping voices can make both tasks harder.\nIs reading text aloud the same as downloading generated speech?\nNo. Browser read-aloud uses voices available to the browser or operating system, and some voices use remote services.

Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nSearch locally imported timestamped transcripts by phrase and semantic similarity; return matched passages and playback times; no generated claims needed.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"transcript-search\",\n  \"category\": \"speech-tools\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Search locally imported timestamped transcripts by phrase and semantic similarity; return matched passages and playback times; no generated claims needed.\",\n  \"implementation\": {\n    \"fields\": [\n      {\n        \"key\": \"query\",\n        \"label\": \"Find phrase\",\n        \"value\": \"\",\n        \"type\": \"text\"\n      }\n    ],\n    \"experience\": {\n      \"automatic\": true,\n      \"single\": false,\n      \"label\": \"Your text\",\n      \"placeholder\": \"Hello world!\",\n      \"help\": \"Change the input or settings to update your result.
