I built a live captioning system for local technical talks back in 2024. Back then it requires putting multiple models together so it works well enough with Thai language + tech jargons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXMS212fZSA
The models have improved much since then, so…

Here! Fresh orphan branch
v2 is checked out and empty. Where do you want to start: the transcription model, the audio capture side, or the viewer?Let's plan out the project first.
Sure. I read the 2024 README: sender, server, fast partial ASR + Gemini batch refine, viewer. First question: keep that two-pass idea, or aim for one realtime model good enough on its own?
Basically, I aim for a single real-time model, but the transcript can be later post-processed with LLM if needed.
re. model, see:
- https://help.aliyun.com/en/model-studio/real-time-speech-recognition-user-guide?spm=a2c4g.11186623.help-menu-2400256.d_1_2_2_0_1.362dc690INtcxw
- https://github.com/dtinth/vxbeamer/tree/main/packages/vxasr (it has adapter for Qwen audio already)
re. directions:
- The transcript will be public, i.e. anyone with the link can access.
- Contrary to v1, VAD should be done server-side.
- Should double as audio recorder so we can re-transcribe if needed.
- Built for robustness.
- For sender, it should keep a local buffer of audio the moment recording started, while connecting to WS in the background. Should a connection be lost, the client keeps recording and can catch up with the sender.
- Can treat audio as 100ms chunk. Each chunk has a timestamp. This way if connection lost and we reconnected, the server can tell which chunk was last received.
- Audio compression is desirable but not strictly needed.
Please install https://github.com/mattpocock/skills and set up the project.

commit 13cc327
Got it: one realtime model, server-side VAD, recorder, chunked resumable sender. Reading vxasr + the Qwen docs, then installing mattpocock/skills and setting up. Will report back.
mattpocock-skills is already installed as a plugin here. For the per-repo setup, my defaults:
1. Issues: GitHub Issues on dtinth/live-speech
2. Triage labels: the default five
3. Docs: single GLOSSARY.md + docs/adr/
4. Agent file: AGENTS.md (with CLAUDE.md pointing to it)
OK, or…
