npm run db:studio    # Open Drizzle Studio

Core Tables

recordings: id, filename, duration, status, audioUrl
transcripts: id, recordingId, content (JSON), speakerMap
utterances: id, transcriptId, speaker, text, startTime, endTime

Case.dev Integration

See references/casedev-transcription-api.md for API patterns.

Transcription Flow

// 1. Upload audio to Case.dev
const { audioId } = await uploadAudio(file);

// 2. Start transcription with legal vocabulary
const { jobId } = await startTranscription(audioId, {
  vocabulary: legalVocabulary,
  speakerDiarization: true,
});

// 3. Poll for completion
const transcript = await pollTranscriptionStatus(jobId);

// 4. Store results
await saveTranscript(recordingId, transcript);

Audio Playback

See references/audio-playback.md for wavesurfer.js patterns.

Key Features

Waveform visualization
Click-to-seek from transcript
Playback speed control
Keyboard shortcuts (space, arrows)

Development

Setup

npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# Add CASEDEV_API_KEY and DATABASE_URL
npm run db:push
npm run dev

Environment

CASEDEV_API_KEY=sk_case_...       # Case.dev API key
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...     # PostgreSQL connection
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000

Common Tasks

Adding a New Export Format

Create export function in
```
lib/export/
```
Add endpoint in
```
app/api/recordings/[id]/export/
```
Add option to
```
ExportDialog.tsx
```

Customizing Speaker Labels

// Default labels
const speakerLabels = ['Judge', 'Plaintiff Attorney', 'Defense Attorney', 
                       'Witness', 'Clerk', 'Unknown'];

// In SpeakerEditor component, allow custom labels

Adding Legal Vocabulary

// lib/legal-vocabulary.ts
export const legalVocabulary = [
  'objection', 'sustained', 'overruled', 'plaintiff', 'defendant',
  'voir dire', 'habeas corpus', 'pro bono', 'amicus curiae',
  // Add more terms
];

Export Formats

Format	Use Case
PDF	Official court filing, archive
Word (.docx)	Editing, annotations
Plain Text	Processing, search indexing
SRT	Subtitles for video recordings

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Transcription stuck	Check Case.dev API status, verify audio format
Audio won't play	Verify audio URL accessible, check CORS
Speaker labels wrong	Use SpeakerEditor to reassign
Export fails	Check transcript exists, verify format support
Waveform not showing	Ensure wavesurfer.js loaded, check audio src
