batch_search

Search multiple audio files for keywords in parallel. Ideal for processing podcast libraries, interview collections, or any batch of audio files.

Example

Request:

{
  "audio_paths": [
    "/Users/you/Downloads/episode1.webm",
    "/Users/you/Downloads/episode2.webm",
    "/Users/you/Downloads/episode3.webm"
  ],
  "keywords": ["AI", "automation"],
  "workers": 3
}

Response:

{
  "files_processed": 3,
  "files_with_errors": 0,
  "total_matches": 12,
  "results": {
    "/Users/you/Downloads/episode1.webm": {
      "AI": [{ "timestamp": "1:30", "snippet": "..." }]
    }
  },
  "model_used": "tiny"
}

Notes

Each file is transcribed and cached independently. Re-running a batch search where some files are already cached will only transcribe the new ones.

Use list_audio_files first to discover files in a directory, then pass the paths to batch_search.
