## Changelog

All notable, user-facing capabilities of the Video & Audio Transcriber. This is
a feature log rather than a strict per-release history.

### \[0.1.0] — initial release

- **Any URL to transcript.** YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Rumble,
  SoundCloud, Dailymotion, Twitch and 1,800+ other sites, podcast RSS/Atom feeds
  and direct media files (mp3, mp4, wav, m4a, flac, ogg, webm, mov).
- **Full transcript, timestamped segments, SRT and VTT.** Subtitle strings in
  the record plus downloadable `.srt` / `.vtt` files.
- **99+ languages auto-detected**, optional forced language, optional English
  translation, optional word-level timestamps.
- **Podcast feeds expand to episodes.** Point it at an RSS feed and the newest
  `maxEpisodesPerFeed` episodes become one row each.
- **Bounded cost.** `maxMinutesPerItem` caps what is transcribed per URL, only
  transcribed minutes are billed, failed items are never charged, and the run
  stops cleanly at the run's maximum cost instead of failing.
- **Long media is chunked**, so a one-hour episode does not run for an hour.
- **Cookies support** for YouTube's sign-in gate and restricted content.
