## Key Discoveries

### 1. Product Analysis
- **Application**: Flow-inspired voice dictation app
- **Core Value**: Universal Ctrl+Win hotkey for any application
- **Technology**: OpenAI Whisper API (gpt-4o-transcribe)
- **User Base**: Knowledge workers, content creators, accessibility users
- **Competitive Edge**: Open-source, universal compatibility, privacy-focused

### 2. Technical Decisions

| Decision | Rationale | Impact |
|----------|-----------|--------|
| **Electron over Tauri** | Mature ecosystem, better tooling, native integrations | Faster development, extensive resources |
| **gpt-4o-transcribe over whisper-1** | Higher quality, streaming support, modern API | Better UX, lower latency option |
| **Meeting mode in Phase 1** | User explicitly requested feature | Competitive advantage, expanded scope |
| **TypeScript recommended** | Type safety, better DX, ecosystem compatibility | Reduced bugs, improved maintainability |

### 3. Architecture Insights
- 3-layer architecture: Presentation → Business Logic → Integration
- 6 core components identified (Hotkey Manager, Audio Recorder, Transcription Client, Text Injector, Settings Manager, Statistics Tracker)
- Cross-platform support required: Windows 10/11, macOS 12+, Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+)
- Audio format standardized: 16kHz mono WAV (optimal for speech)

### 4. Feature Scope
- **Phase 1 Core**: 9 major implementation areas
- **Phase 1 Enhanced**: Speaker diarization, custom prompting, streaming
- **Phase 2+**: Offline mode, voice commands, cloud sync, enterprise features
- **Success Metrics**: >95% accuracy, <2s latency, 1000+ users in 6 months

## Next Steps: Handoff to `code/wish`

### Immediate Actions
1. **Create First Wish**: "Build Speak Phase 1 - Production MVP"
2. **Workflow**: User should invoke `code/wish` agent
3. **Scope**: Break down Phase 1 roadmap into executable wishes
4. **Priority**: Start with "Project Setup" (foundational infrastructure)

### Recommended First Wish Topics
1. **Project Setup & Infrastructure**
   - Initialize Electron + Node.js project
   - Configure build pipeline (TypeScript/webpack)
   - Set up testing framework
   - Configure Genie Forge integration
   - Create development documentation

2. **Audio Recording System**
   - Implement microphone capture
   - Add Voice Activity Detection
   - Create recording UI feedback
   - Handle audio format conversion

3. **OpenAI Integration**
   - Build API client wrapper
   - Implement transcription service
   - Add streaming support
   - Error handling & retry logic

### Suggested Workflow
```bash
# User invokes wish agent
genie wish "Project Setup & Infrastructure for Speak Phase 1"

# Wish agent will:
# 1. Analyze requirements from roadmap.md
# 2. Create detailed wish document
# 3. Break down into Forge-ready tasks
# 4. Hand off to code/forge for execution
```
