;;; transcription-config.el --- Audio transcription workflow -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

;; Author: Craig Jennings <c@cjennings.net>
;; Created: 2025-11-04

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Audio transcription workflow with multiple backend options.
;;
;; USAGE:
;;   In dired: Press `T` on an audio file to transcribe
;;   Anywhere: M-x cj/transcribe-audio
;;   View active: M-x cj/transcriptions-buffer
;;   Switch backend: C-; T b (or M-x cj/transcription-switch-backend)
;;
;; OUTPUT FILES:
;;   audio.m4a → audio.txt (transcript)
;;            → audio.log (process logs, conditionally kept)
;;
;; BACKENDS:
;;   - 'openai-api: Fast cloud transcription
;;     API key retrieved from authinfo.gpg (machine api.openai.com)
;;   - 'assemblyai: Cloud transcription with speaker diarization
;;     API key retrieved from authinfo.gpg (machine api.assemblyai.com)
;;   - 'local-whisper: Local transcription (requires whisper installed)
;;
;; NOTIFICATIONS:
;;   - "Transcription started on <file>"
;;   - "Transcription complete. Transcript in <file.txt>"
;;   - "Transcription errored. Logs in <file.log>"
;;
;; MODELINE:
;;   Shows active transcription count: ⏺2
;;   Click to view *Transcriptions* buffer
