+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is a live transcription desktop application built with Electron that provides real-time speech-to-text transcription with OBS integration. The app supports multiple transcription backends including local/remote Whisper and ElevenLabs Scribe, with GPU acceleration support.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Main Components
+
+- **Electron Main Process** (`src/main.js`): Manages application windows, starts the Express server, handles IPC communication between main window and display window
+- **Express Server** (`src/server/index.js`): REST API server with Socket.IO for real-time communication, handles transcription requests and settings management
+- **Frontend Client** (`public/js/app.js`): Main UI for recording controls, settings, and transcription display
+- **Display Window** (`public/display.html`): Transparent overlay window for OBS capture
+
+### Backend Architecture
+
+- **Transcription Backends** (`src/server/backends/`):
+  - `whisper.js`: Local and remote OpenAI Whisper integration with queue management
+  - `elevenlabs.js`: ElevenLabs Scribe API integration
+- **Utilities** (`src/server/utils/`):
+  - `settingsManager.js`: Persistent settings storage and management
+  - `transcriptionQueue.js`: Queue system for managing audio processing
+  - `audioUtils.js`: Audio processing utilities
+
+### Key Technologies
+
+- **Electron**: Desktop app framework
+- **Express + Socket.IO**: Real-time server communication
+- **MediaRecorder API**: Browser audio recording
+- **Web Audio API**: Audio level monitoring and analysis
+- **Multiple AI APIs**: OpenAI Whisper, ElevenLabs Scribe
+
+## Development Commands
+
+```bash
+# Start the application in development mode (opens DevTools)
+npm run dev
+
+# Start the application normally
+npm start
+
+# Build for distribution
+npm run build
+
+# Run server only (for testing backend)
+npm run server
+```
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and configure:
+- `WHISPER_MODEL`: Local Whisper model size (tiny/base/small/medium/large)
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY`: For remote Whisper API
+- `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`: For ElevenLabs Scribe
+- `AUDIO_THRESHOLD`: Silence detection sensitivity (0.001-0.1)
+- `SERVER_PORT`: Server port (default: 3000)
+
+## Settings System
+
+The app uses a persistent settings system (`src/server/utils/settingsManager.js`) that:
+- Stores settings in `~/.live-transcription/settings.json`
+- Provides UI override of environment variables
+- Handles secure API key storage
+- Syncs settings between client and server
+
+## Audio Processing Flow
+
+1. **Audio Capture**: MediaRecorder captures microphone input in configurable chunks (1-5 seconds)
+2. **Level Monitoring**: Web Audio API provides real-time audio level feedback
+3. **Transcription**: Audio chunks sent to selected backend (Whisper Local/Remote or ElevenLabs)
+4. **Queue Management**: Transcription queue prevents overload and manages processing order
+5. **Display**: Results broadcast via Socket.IO to main window and OBS display window
+
+## Display Window System
+
+The app creates two windows:
+- **Main Window**: Controls, settings, and transcription preview
+- **Display Window**: Transparent, always-on-top overlay for OBS capture
+- IPC communication synchronizes settings and transcription data between windows
+
+## GPU Acceleration
+
+Supports hardware acceleration detection and configuration:
+- **NVIDIA CUDA**: Detected via `nvidia-smi`
+- **AMD ROCm**: Detected via `rocm-smi` (Linux only)
+- **Intel OpenVINO**: Detected via `lspci` for Intel GPUs
+
+## Common Development Patterns
+
+- Settings are managed centrally and applied to both UI and backend
+- Audio processing uses queues to prevent overwhelming backends
+- Real-time communication via Socket.IO for transcription updates
+- IPC handles communication between Electron windows
+- Error handling includes graceful fallbacks for missing dependencies
+
+## Server Deployment
+
+The git directory on the servers are /root/whp and once you do a git pull, to sync web files you would run the rsync command for web-files/ to /docker/whp/web/
