Transcribes video audio using WhisperX and creates clean JSON transcripts with word-level timing data.
Use WhisperX, NOT standard Whisper. WhisperX preserves the original video timeline including leading silence, ensuring transcripts match actual video timestamps. Run WhisperX directly on video files. Don't extract audio separately - this ensures timestamp alignment.
After WhisperX completes, format the JSON using our prepareaudioscript:
