Request speaker diarization through OpenRouter's Azure provider options for
all transcription uploads. Add --no-diarization to explicitly disable it for
both plain text and SRT output; returned speaker labels let existing SRT
cue generation split at speaker changes.
Default to 10-minute chunks when diarization is enabled because Microsoft
reports failures around 15 minutes and longer. Preserve the 30-minute
default with the opt-out and honor explicit --chunk-minutes values in both
modes. Document the options, duration limits, and output behavior.
Test Plan:
- python3 -B -m unittest -v: all 32 tests passed, including request options,
default upload limits, opt-out combinations, and SRT speaker boundaries.
- bash -n transcribe: passed.
- ./transcribe --help: verified the new option and chunk defaults.
- git diff --cached --check: passed.
- Provider responses were mocked; no live API request was made.
Sending entire recordings in one request can exceed provider limits.
Decode audio once to a shared PCM sample clock and split uploads at a
configurable maximum of 1 to 30 minutes, defaulting to 30 minutes.
Prefer nearby pauses and include six seconds of overlap to protect words
at audio cuts while keeping each encoded MP3 within the duration cap.
Request word timestamps for chunked text and SRT output. Match overlapping
words and times to retain each passage once, warn when a join falls back
to timestamps, and generate SRT cues on the original recording timeline.
Reuse subtitle timestamp validation without reordering regressing words.
Only emit output after every request and conversion succeeds.
Document the Python dependency, temporary storage, boundary limitations,
and lack of automatic retry or resume. Keep single-request text formatting.
Test Plan:
- python3 -B -m unittest -v: all 29 tests passed, including mocked provider
failures, native MP3 payload checks, boundary stitching, and SRT timing.
- bash -n transcribe and shellcheck transcribe: passed.
- git diff --cached --check: passed.
- Locally decoded and encoded the supplied 74-minute WebM into three MP3
chunks; ffprobe confirmed each duration was below 30 minutes.
- Live transcription was not verified: the configured 1Password credential
was unavailable.
