# Backfill Transcription

`POST /internal/admin/backfill-transcription`

Enqueue transcription backfill tasks for eligible content missing language metadata.

Eligible: upload_status=ready, not deleted, has mux_asset_id, no language
in custom_metadata. Safe to call multiple times — named Cloud Tasks prevent
duplicate enqueues; worker skips content that already has a ready track.

Use limit + offset to paginate large orgs until enqueued == 0.

- BackfillRequest
  - `limit` integer, nullable
  - `offset` integer
