Would be great to have some basic installation instructions to get folks going and have that linked from the README.

Describe the bug
When I use Zip Captions for a lecture at a college class, it will repeatedly stop transcribing and give a speech recognition error stating the required network communication for completing the recognition has failed. This only occurs through basic listening as I do not use the sharing/broadcast feature.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Google Chrome, visit https://zipcaptions.app/
2. Click on the microphone (🎤) icon in the top-right corner.
3. Transcribed audio will appear and works for certain amount of time.
4. The error (in red text) will appear and the microphone (🎤) icon in the top-right corner becomes a warning (⚠️) symbol. When hovering over the warning symbol, a yellow tooltip appears saying Network.

Expected behavior
Zip Captions should continue to transcribe as normal, as long there is no issue with Google's speech recognition service.

Actual behavior
At random interval, Zip Captions will stop transcribing and give me an error, Speech recognition error: Network communication required for completing the recognition failed. Sometimes it is not clear an error has occurred as it is usually hidden towards the top instead of appearing at the bottom for me to easily see.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser: Google Chrome
• Version: 120.0.6099.227
• Microphone: built into a HP all-in-one system, can get more information if necessary

Additional context
I was directed here after a brief discussion in the #bugs channel of the Discord server.

While running captions via a Google Chrome session, captions were paused 6 times during the church sermon without any action on our side. We were using the Share functionality and the first time this happened, we lost connection to the tablets viewing our session. The remaining times it auto paused we had to start the captions back.

Hello and congratulations on your project!

I've tried it on OBS Studio 29.1.3 for Linux Debian 12 and I'm having problems getting the CEA 608-708 to work.
When I stream to Youtube, the subtitling stops, or worse, whole sentences or words are missing.
I don't know if it's related to OBS or Youtube.

Have you ever noticed this?

Thanks for your help.

I'm getting a persistent error: whilst speaking after a few seconds this pops up and the input stops completely until I double click the microphone button (it then does it again a few seconds later). Browser: Google Chrome Have tried clearing browser cache, running in incognito window, restarting audio engine, using alternative audio inputs (both through my virtual audio engine and not)

Angular not picking up prod environment during client build.

@coderabbitai Test files matching the pattern /packages/client/src/**/*.spec.ts are related to the client project in this nx monorepo. Many of these test files do not pass, and all are missing appropriate test methods. Please review each test file in the path above and recommend improvements to testing coverage and functionality.

On firefox, users should encounter a warning message when the service encounters the fatal error that it cannot access the API.

Also need to verify Edge compatibility. Looks like it may not be as performant

Not sure why I couldn't get the microphone to be recognized https://zipcaptions.app/

Cannot establish peer connection properly when host is on school wifi and client is on mobile data connection.

When using the application on its webpage, it is affecting microphone levels on the PC.
It is choosing the levels that the microphone reads out without someone changing it or wanting it to be changed.

to reproduce:
Open up the zipcaptions
open up sounds on pc
open up properties of microphone
Go to levels section of microphone
once you start to have zip captions listening, it will change the volume levels

Expected behavior
Expected to capture words and produce captions but not change the volume of my microphone as it is used elsewhere.

Actual behavior
It is changing the levels of my microphone

Additional context
This was not happening just a couple weeks ago, not sure why it is now connected to change volume levels. If this is an added feature it would be nice to be removed. It is changing my microphone levels to random amounts. As a streamer I need these to stay at the same level unless I am changing them. Thank you for looking into this

I am the Media Director for a small church who is currently using Web Captioner to supply captions for one of our congregants who is deaf. Web Captioner was able to create an add-in to allow the captions to be displayed on a tablet so our member can sit anywhere in the sanctuary during service. Since WC is being sunset the end of October I started researching options and ZipCaptions seems to be the best solution for us however I am hoping you will be able to add the tablet viewing capability so we can continue to give our member the freedom to sit in the congregation without being tied to the Media Booth.

I would love to have a conversation with you about this.
