ollos_probeWhat the file really is: kind, duration, resolution, aspect (and which platforms it fits), codecs, tracks. Detects Zoom recording folders. Instant.ollos_transcribeWhisper transcription with timestamps. Voice-activity gating skips silence; known hallucinations are filtered; `vocabulary` fixes domain terms.ollos_keyframesThe frames that carry information, packed into 3×3 timestamped contact sheets. Works on screen recordings where scene detection sees nothing.ollos_read_screenOCR of on-screen text plus a **secret scan**: API keys, JWTs, `.env` lines, private deployment URLs. Always masked.ollos_reviewVerdict before publishing: loudness vs platform, silences to cut, aspect ratio, secrets on screen.ollos_framesLook at a sheet or a single frame as an image.ollos_diarizeWho spoke when: pyannote segmentation + WeSpeaker embeddings + clustering, with an 8-second voice clip per speaker so you can name them by ear. Uses Zoom per-participant tracks directly when present. *Experimental — see limits.*ollos_searchHybrid BM25 + multilingual-embedding search over everything transcribed and read, fused by reciprocal rank. Returns passages with timestamps, never whole transcripts.
