A bug worth telling you about: some .ogg files were transcribed wrongly

5 August 2026 · issue 025 — the full write-up

A user reported that .ogg voice notes "didn't work". They were worse than broken: for some .ogg files the transcript came back fluent, confident — and about audio that was never recorded. The audio reached the model in a form it could not decode, and instead of failing it invented something plausible.

It is fixed: we now identify the audio by reading the file's actual contents rather than trusting its name or the label the operating system attached, and route it through the decoder that has always worked. Verified across six file-name and file-type combinations. If you transcribed a .ogg voice note before 5 August and the result read oddly, that is why — please run it again. We have also reported the underlying flaw upstream, since other tools built on the same engine share it.

The product is live: drop a voice note, get everything back

5 August 2026 · v0.1.14+ — what changed

The app now does the whole job it was built for: drop in a WhatsApp voice note and watch the results stream in — the transcript first (about five seconds), then a structured summary, then, if you asked for one, an infographic that draws itself as the model generates it. Everything runs in your browser with your own OpenRouter key; a full pass costs well under a penny.

  • Beta: bring your own key (openrouter.ai/keys) — it stays in your browser.
  • Built by importing the proven audio-transcribe engine and infographic renderer from the SGraph tools site — the build story is in the dev pack.

The build has its briefs

29 July 2026 · v0.1.2 — what changed

A five-part dev pack now defines how the product gets built: we import the proven audio-transcribe engine from the SGraph tools site directly (its CORS policy allows it), keep the whole experience client-side, and build our own branded one-pass flow on top — transcript, then summary, then infographic, each appearing the moment it's ready.

  • The dev pack — Conductor, Architect, Dev and Designer briefs, with ASCII mockups and data-flow diagrams.
  • Status: briefs only — implementation starts with milestone M1.

From empty repo to working project in one day

28 July 2026 · v0.1.1 — what changed

The first SGraph product to market got its repository: an agentic team wired up with ten active roles, a CI pipeline that versions and tags every change, a file-based issue tracker, a curated documentation library, and this site — published to GitHub Pages on every push.

The product it exists for: drop in a WhatsApp voice note (.opus / .ogg / .m4a) and get back a transcript, an analysis and a short debrief in one pass — with an infographic if you ask. No backend; everything runs in your browser. First beta: August 2026.
