Elcor Mode
Elcor mode is an alternative display format where tone labels appear as bracketed prefixes inline with the transcript text, rather than as separate tags.
The format
Standard view:
"Sure, that sounds great."
Passive-aggressively complying
Elcor mode:
[Passive-aggressively complying] "Sure, that sounds great."
[With sincerity] "I'll look into that right away."
[Enthusiastically agreeing] "Absolutely, I think that's the right call."
The name comes from the Elcor species in the Mass Effect series, who verbally prefix every statement with its emotional context because their tonal range is not legible to other species. The parallel is intentional: Linnet makes tonal subtext explicit for people who find it cognitively expensive to decode implicitly.
When to use Elcor mode
Elcor mode is best for:
- Reading transcripts after the fact — the inline format makes tone immediately legible without looking back and forth between text and tag
- Exporting and sharing — the bracketed prefix format is readable in plain text, paste-friendly, and does not depend on Linnet's UI
- Users who prefer sequential reading — some people find the inline format easier to follow than a parallel tag column
The standard tag view may be preferable during a live session when screen space is limited.
Toggling Elcor mode
Click the Elcor toggle in the session toolbar. The mode applies immediately to the current transcript view and is saved as a preference for future sessions.
You can also toggle per-export: the Meeting Notes export dialog lets you choose the format (tagged vs. Elcor prefix) independently of your live view preference.
