# Live Transcribe — Read Read the most recent transcription file from a live-transcribe session. ## Finding the latest transcription The real-time transcript lives in the **log file**, not the .txt file. The log updates continuously during recording. ```bash # Primary source — real-time log (updates live during recording) cat /tmp/realtime-transcribe.log 2>/dev/null # Extract only the spoken text (strip metadata lines) grep '^\[committed\]' /tmp/realtime-transcribe.log 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^\[committed\] //' ``` The `.txt` file (`/tmp/transcribe-*.txt`) may contain a final dump but does NOT update in real-time. Always prefer the log file. ## Check if transcription is still active ```bash if test -f /tmp/realtime-transcribe.pid && kill -0 $(cat /tmp/realtime-transcribe.pid) 2>/dev/null; then echo "ACTIVE — file is still being updated" else echo "FINISHED — file is complete" fi ``` ## Read the file Use `grep` to extract committed text from the log, stripping `[committed]` prefixes. Skip the first JSON status line and `[session started]` markers. ## What to tell the user 1. The transcription text 2. Whether it's still being updated or finished 3. If still active: they can check again later for more content 4. If no files found: tell them no transcription has been recorded yet ## Working with the transcription The user may ask to do things with the text beyond just reading it: - Summarize, translate, extract action items, format, etc. - The text is available in the main context after reading — proceed with whatever the user asks
