+# Voice to Notes
+
+A desktop application that transcribes audio/video recordings with speaker identification, producing editable transcriptions with synchronized audio playback.

+- **Synchronized Playback** — Click any transcribed text segment to play back the corresponding audio for review and correction
+- **Export Formats**
