Josh Knapp 48fe41b064 Phase 2: Core transcription pipeline and audio playback
- Implement faster-whisper TranscribeService with word-level timestamps,
  progress reporting, and hardware auto-detection
- Wire up Rust SidecarManager for Python process lifecycle (spawn, IPC, shutdown)
- Add transcribe_file Tauri command bridging frontend to Python sidecar
- Integrate wavesurfer.js WaveformPlayer with play/pause, skip, seek controls
- Build TranscriptEditor with word-level click-to-seek and active highlighting
- Connect file import flow: prompt → asset load → transcribe → display
- Add typed tauri-bridge service with TranscriptionResult interface
- Add Python tests for hardware detection and transcription result formatting

Voice to Notes

A desktop application that transcribes audio/video recordings with speaker identification, producing editable transcriptions with synchronized audio playback.

Goals

  • Speech-to-Text Transcription — Accurately convert spoken audio from recordings into text
  • Speaker Identification (Diarization) — Detect and distinguish between different speakers in a conversation
  • Speaker Naming — Assign and persist speaker names/IDs across the transcription
  • Synchronized Playback — Click any transcribed text segment to play back the corresponding audio for review and correction
  • Export Formats
    • Closed captioning files (SRT, VTT) for video
    • Plain text documents with speaker labels
  • AI Integration — Connect to AI providers to ask questions about the conversation and generate condensed notes/summaries
