# Introduction

## What is Kair Voice?

Kair Voice is a platform for recording, transcribing, and analysing spoken sessions — meetings, workshops, citizen assemblies, or any group conversation where you need a reliable record of what was said and by whom.

It combines:

* **Hardware devices** (ESP32-based recorders) or **browser-based recording** via the web app
* **Automatic transcription** — either via a local Whisper model or a hosted inference cluster (Foresight)
* **Speaker diarisation** — segments labelled by who was speaking
* **AI-powered analysis** — summaries, concern detection, and a knowledge graph (HiRAG) that lets you query across sessions
* **Multi-workspace support** — separate groups or projects can each have their own sessions, members, and settings

## Who uses it?

| Role                        | What they do                                                                         |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Moderator / Facilitator** | Starts/stops recordings, watches live transcription, manages sessions                |
| **Admin**                   | Configures transcription models, manages users, views all sessions across workspaces |
| **Participant**             | Joins a session as a guest; their speech is captured and attributed                  |
| **Your colleague**          | Reads this documentation to understand how the system works                          |

## How a session flows

```
Device / Browser  →  Audio upload (chunks)  →  Transcription worker
                                                      ↓
                                             Summarisation worker
                                                      ↓
                                              HiRAG indexing (knowledge graph)
```
