Claim 13:
14. An electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs, the one or more programs including instructions for:
retrieving, from a database, a plurality of transcripts, each transcript in the plurality of transcripts corresponding to audio from a media content item of a plurality of media content items that are provided by a media providing service;
applying each transcript of the plurality of transcripts to a trained computational model;
receiving a user request for information regarding a topic, wherein the user request includes a string of words; and
in response to the user request:
identifying, by applying the string of words to the trained computational model:
a transcript from the database that is relevant to the topic;
a position within the transcript that is relevant to the topic; and

causing playback of at least a portion of a media content item corresponding to the identified transcript, beginning at a starting position that is based on the position within the identified transcript that is relevant to the topic,

wherein:
the trained computational model is trained, using a training set of questions and answers, to provide a position within a known text source in response to receiving a user request for information; and
the training set of questions and answers is distinct and separate from the plurality of transcripts.
