Transcription Archive

Tota automatically archives older transcriptions as Markdown files for long-term reference or use with AI models of your choice.

How It Works

  • Transcriptions older than 3 days are moved from active storage to archive files.
  • Each day produces one file named YYYY-MM-DD.md.
  • Files include YAML front matter with metadata:
---
date: 2024-03-10
transcription_count: 42
total_words: 1234
total_duration: 3456.5
archived_at: 2024-03-11T10:00:00Z

Default Archive Location

~/Library/Application Support/Tota/archives/transcriptions/

Custom Archive Path

  1. Go to Settings > General > Archive.
  2. Click the folder picker to choose a custom directory.
  3. Future archives will be written to the new location.

You can also click Open in Finder to browse the current archive folder.

Disabling

Toggle Archive transcriptions off in Settings > General > Archive. Transcriptions older than 3 days will simply be removed from the active list without archiving.
