+# Multi-User Transcription Server (PHP)
+
+A simple PHP server that allows multiple Local Transcription clients to merge their captions into a single stream. Perfect for multiple streamers playing together who want synchronized captions.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ Room-based isolation (multiple groups can use the same server)
+- ✅ Passphrase authentication per room
+- ✅ Real-time streaming via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
+- ✅ Different colors for each user
+- ✅ Auto-fade transcriptions
+- ✅ Works on standard PHP hosting (no special requirements)
+- ✅ File-based storage (no database needed)
+- ✅ Automatic cleanup of old rooms
+
+## Requirements
+
+- PHP 7.4 or higher
+- Web server (Apache/Nginx)
+- Writable data directory
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Upload Files
+
+Upload these files to your web server:
+```
+your-domain.com/
+└── transcription/
+    ├── server.php
+    ├── display.php
+    ├── config.php
+    ├── .htaccess
+    └── data/          (will be created automatically)
+```
+
+### 2. Set Permissions
+
+Make sure the PHP process can write to the directory:
+```bash
+chmod 755 server.php display.php config.php
+chmod 755 .
+```
+
+The `data/` directory will be created automatically with proper permissions.
+
+### 3. Test Installation
+
+Visit: `https://your-domain.com/transcription/server.php`
+
+You should see:
+```json
+{
+  "service": "Local Transcription Multi-User Server",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### For Streamers (Desktop App)
+
+1. Open the Local Transcription app
+2. Go to Settings
+3. Enable "Server Sync"
+4. Enter:
+   - **Server URL**: `https://your-domain.com/transcription/server.php`
+   - **Room Name**: Choose a unique name (e.g., "gaming-session-123")
+   - **Passphrase**: A shared secret for your group (e.g., "mysecretpass")
+5. Start transcription
+
+### For OBS (Browser Source)
+
+1. Add a "Browser" source in OBS
+2. Set URL to:
+   ```
+   https://your-domain.com/transcription/display.php?room=ROOM&passphrase=PASS&fade=10&timestamps=true
+   ```
+
+   Replace:
+   - `ROOM` = Your room name
+   - `PASS` = Your passphrase
+   - `fade=10` = Seconds before text fades (0 = never)
+   - `timestamps=true` = Show timestamps (false to hide)
+
+3. Set width/height as desired (e.g., 1920x300)
+4. Check "Shutdown source when not visible" (optional)
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Send Transcription
+```http
+POST /server.php?action=send
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "room": "my-room",
+  "passphrase": "my-secret",
+  "user_name": "Alice",
+  "text": "Hello everyone!",
+  "timestamp": "12:34:56"
+}
+```
+
+### Stream Transcriptions (SSE)
+```http
+GET /server.php?action=stream&room=my-room&passphrase=my-secret
+```
+
+Returns Server-Sent Events stream with new transcriptions.
+
+### List Recent Transcriptions
+```http
+GET /server.php?action=list&room=my-room&passphrase=my-secret
+```
+
+Returns JSON array of recent transcriptions.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `config.php` to customize:
+
+```php
+// Session lifetime (seconds)
+define('SESSION_LIFETIME', 3600);
+
+// Max transcriptions stored per room
+define('MAX_TRANSCRIPTIONS_PER_ROOM', 100);
+
+// Storage directory
+define('STORAGE_DIR', __DIR__ . '/data');
+
+// Enable CORS
+define('ENABLE_CORS', true);
+
+// Cleanup threshold (seconds)
+define('CLEANUP_THRESHOLD', 7200);
+```
+
+## Security
+
+### Passphrases
+- Each room is protected by a passphrase
+- Passphrases are hashed using PHP's `password_hash()`
+- The first person to create a room sets its passphrase
+- All subsequent users must use the same passphrase
+
+### Best Practices
+1. Use strong passphrases (e.g., `MyStream2024!SecurePass`)
+2. Don't share passphrases publicly
+3. Use unique room names (e.g., include date/time)
+4. Enable HTTPS on your server
+5. Regularly update PHP
+
+### Data Storage
+- Room data is stored in `data/room_HASH.json`
+- Files are automatically cleaned up after 2 hours of inactivity
+- No personally identifiable information is logged
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Invalid passphrase" error
+- Make sure all clients use the exact same passphrase
+- Passphrases are case-sensitive
+- First user to join creates the room and sets the passphrase
+
+### Transcriptions not appearing
+- Check browser console for errors
+- Verify Server-Sent Events (SSE) is supported
+- Check that the room name and passphrase match
+
+### "Permission denied" on data directory
+```bash
+chmod 755 /path/to/transcription
+# Data directory will be created automatically
+```
+
+### Server disconnects frequently
+- Increase PHP's `max_execution_time` for SSE:
+  ```php
+  set_time_limit(0);
+  ```
+- Check server timeout settings (Apache/Nginx)
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Multiple Rooms on Same Server
+Each room is completely isolated. Example:
+
+- Room "podcast-team-1" with passphrase "secret1"
+- Room "gaming-squad-2" with passphrase "secret2"
+
+They don't interfere with each other.
+
+### Customizing Display
+
+Add URL parameters to `display.php`:
+- `?fade=20` - Fade after 20 seconds
+- `?fade=0` - Never fade
+- `?timestamps=false` - Hide timestamps
+- `?font=Arial` - Change font (future feature)
+
+### Using with Shared Hosting
+
+This works on most shared hosting providers:
+- No database required
+- No special PHP extensions needed
+- Uses standard PHP file operations
+- Compatible with Apache .htaccess
+
+### Upgrading to Redis/MySQL
+
+For high-traffic scenarios, replace file storage in `server.php`:
+
+```php
+// Instead of file_put_contents()
+// Use Redis:
+$redis->set("room:$room", json_encode($roomData));
+
+// Or MySQL:
+$pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO rooms ...")->execute(...);
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Tested**: 10 concurrent clients per room
+- **Latency**: < 2 seconds
+- **Storage**: ~1KB per transcription
+- **Bandwidth**: Minimal (text-only)
+
+## Limitations
+
+- File-based storage (not suitable for very high traffic)
+- Server-Sent Events may not work with some proxies
+- Rooms expire after 2 hours of inactivity
+- No user management or admin panel (by design)
