Everything inside an open recording: the tape-deck transport, the waveform and its selection, non-destructive edit tools, the transcription consent flow, transcript review and removal.
What the person sees the moment they open a recording: who and what it is, the tape-deck controls that play it, and the strip that says where the file lives. All of it plays the edited recipe, never the source file.
Nothing is rendered. With Settings > Cassette transport > Animate cassette reels switched off the whole strip, including the words Ready to play, is removed from the page (preferences.animation && …).

After edits the waveform shows the edited timeline with a marker at every cut.
Non-destructive edits: trim, split and delete change a recipe of segments, and undo or redo walks that history. This group also shows the notices the editor raises when an action is refused or fails.
Turning a recording into text is always a choice: pick a provider, supply a key, and give explicit consent to send the edited audio. Everything here is desktop-only; the browser preview shows the form but cannot send anything.

Okay, we're recording. Let's go through the agenda for the open day. First item is the signage. We need arrows from the car park to the hall. I can print those on Thursday, if someone sends me the layout. I'll send it tonight. What about refreshments? Two urns and the biscuit order, same as last year. Fine by me. Should we start setting up at nine?
