// Discord-style live captions. Uses the browser's SpeechRecognition API to
// transcribe the LOCAL user's mic, then broadcasts each interim/final result
// to peers via the LiveKit DataChannel. Receivers store and display them.
//
// Privacy note: speech recognition runs in the browser. On Chromium-based
// runtimes (incl. Tauri's WebView2 on Windows) this calls into the browser's
// own engine, which today reaches Google's cloud — same trade-off as Discord.
// We ship a hard off switch and require an explicit user toggle.
