# Linnet

Real-time voice transcription with tone annotation for calls, appointments, and difficult conversations. Linnet labels not just what is being said, but how it is being said — giving neurodivergent (ND) users a way to track tonal subtext without spending cognitive bandwidth decoding social register in real time.

## Features

- **Real-time transcription** — local [Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) inference; no audio leaves your machine
- **Tone annotation** — each speech segment is labeled with its emotional and social register (Apologetic, Stressed, Enthusiastically agreeing, Passive-aggressively complying, and more)
- **Elcor mode** — bracketed tone-prefix format that makes register explicit inline with transcript text
- **Speaker diarization** — distinguishes speakers in multi-participant calls
- **Session history** — browse, search, and export past sessions; everything stays local
- **Translation** — via DeepL; BYOK (bring your own key) on Free tier, CF-managed key on Paid tier
- **Corrections** — inline widget to fix transcript errors; corrections retrain your local model over time
- **Meeting notes export** — structured export of transcript plus tone timeline for post-call review
- **Embeddable widget** — overlay architecture designed to sit on top of video call windows
