Live Recording

Always-on environmental audio capture. Records continuously, transcribes with whisper-cpp (Metal-accelerated), appends timestamped entries to an org file viewable live in Emacs.

Activation

1. Start tmux capture session

tmux new-session -d -s capture \
  'while true; do bash ~/v/scripts/always-on-capture.sh; echo "[restart] $(date)"; sleep 2; done'

The auto-restart loop ensures crash resilience. The script records 6s WAV chunks via ffmpeg avfoundation device :1, silence-detects via sox RMS (< 0.005), transcribes non-silent chunks with whisper-cli --model ~/v/ggml-base.en.bin, and appends ** [timestamp]\ntext\n entries to ~/v/audio-capture.org.

2. Open in Emacs with live updates
