Auto-chapters from your transcript
Every recording auto-generates chapter markers from the transcript. Transition phrases like 'now let's talk about…' become seekable chapter points in the player.

How chapters are generated
When a recording's WebVTT transcript is available, we scan cues for transition markers — phrases like 'now let's talk about', 'moving on to', 'next up', 'finally'. Each match becomes a candidate chapter at the cue's start time. We dedupe candidates within 90 seconds of each other so you never get a chapter cluster.
Output
- 5–12 chapters per recording (capped to keep the player chip rail readable).
- Minimum 90s spacing between chapters.
- Chip rail rendered below the video — click any chip to seek.
- Stored in the same recording metadata as the WebVTT URL; no extra processing step.
When chapters don't show up
If there's no transcript, or the transcript has no recognised transition phrases, the chapter chip rail is hidden — we don't show empty UI. Add a transcript (or let the auto-transcription service finish) and reload the player to pick them up.
