Доказательства
Linterna runs locally. There is no public instance collecting visitors' family recordings.
The transcription runs against my existing private speech service.
SQLite stores the audio and transcript in the same memory record.
A few less visible details made a real difference: Failed transcription keeps the draft audio available.
The GIF uses synthetic speech to demonstrate the actual browser recording, transcription, save and playback flow.
