Summary

Updated README documentation to reflect new caption command and improved CLI examples across multiple features. This includes clearer descriptions of video handling, updated command syntax, and better example demonstrations.

Key Changes

  • New caption command: Added documentation for assembly caption which burns captions directly into videos with ffmpeg, replacing the previous multi-step transcribe + SRT export + ffmpeg workflow
  • Improved dub examples: Updated to use YouTube URL with -l flag shorthand and --video flag for consistency
  • Enhanced clip command docs: Added --video flag documentation to clarify that video downloads are optional and can be omitted for audio-only clips
  • Better example URLs: Replaced generic talk.mp4 with recognizable YouTube videos (YouTube's first video "Me at the zoo" for dub, Steve Jobs' Stanford address for clip)
  • Clearer karaoke subtitle workflow: Simplified documentation from multi-step ffmpeg process to single caption command with formatting options (--chars-per-caption, --font-size)
  • Updated feature list: Added caption as a new bullet point in the features section with full description of its capabilities and options

Implementation Details

  • All changes are documentation-only (README.md)
  • Examples now use consistent flag naming (-l for language, --video for video downloads)
  • Descriptions emphasize the simplified user experience (single command vs. multi-step workflows)

- Replace the two-step transcribe+ffmpeg karaoke pipeline with the new
  one-command 'assembly caption'.
- Add --video to the YouTube highlight-reel clip example so the clips
  keep the picture.
- Swap the dub example for the 'Me at the zoo' YouTube URL demo (19s,
  one clear speaker, instantly recognizable before/after).
- Key features: add a Captioning bullet and note clip --video / dub URL
  support.
