# Live Session
|
|
|
|
A live session is a real-time transcription with tone annotation running as you speak or listen.
|
|
|
|
## Starting a session
|
|
|
|
1. Open Linnet at [http://localhost:8521](http://localhost:8521)
|
|
2. Click **New session**
|
|
3. Grant microphone access if prompted by the browser
|
|
4. Linnet begins transcribing immediately
|
|
|
|
## What you see
|
|
|
|
The session view shows a scrolling transcript. Each line includes:
|
|
|
|
- **Speaker label** — Speaker A, Speaker B, etc. (requires diarization to be enabled; see below)
|
|
- **Transcript text** — the spoken words as recognized by Whisper
|
|
- **Tone label** — the emotional/social register of that segment, shown as a tag (e.g. `Apologetic`, `Stressed`)
|
|
|
|
In [Elcor mode](elcor-mode.md), tone labels appear as bracketed prefixes inline with the text instead of as separate tags.
|
|
|
|
## Speaker diarization
|
|
|
|
For calls with multiple participants, enable **Diarization** in the session settings before starting. Linnet will assign speaker labels (Speaker A, Speaker B, etc.) based on voice characteristics. Labels can be renamed after the session ends.
|
|
|
|
Diarization adds a small amount of processing overhead. For single-speaker use (personal recording, dictation), you can leave it off.
|
|
|
|
## Pausing and resuming
|
|
|
|
Click **Pause** to stop audio capture temporarily. The transcript is preserved. Click **Resume** to continue. Pausing is useful when you need to focus on the conversation without visual distraction from the scroll.
|
|
|
|
## Ending a session
|
|
|
|
Click **End session**. Linnet saves the full transcript, tone timeline, and speaker map to local storage. The session appears in [Session History](session-history.md).
|
|
|
|
After ending, you can:
|
|
- Review the transcript with tone labels
|
|
- Export meeting notes (see [Meeting Notes Export](meeting-notes-export.md))
|
|
- Make corrections to the transcript (see [Corrections](corrections.md))
|
|
- Translate the transcript (see [Translation](translation.md))
