+### 🧩 **Requirement: Speech-to-Text POC (No 3rd-Party APIs)**
+
+#### **Goal**
+
+Build a simple proof of concept (POC) that captures live microphone audio from the browser, sends it to a backend server, converts the audio to text using an open-source/local library, and displays the text on the UI.
+
+#### **Key Points**
+
+* A basic `index.html` page to:
+
+    * Start/stop microphone recording.
+    * Stream audio to the backend.
+    * Display the transcribed text in real-time or after processing.
+* A backend server (e.g., Node.js or Python) that:
+
+    * Receives audio stream.
+    * Uses a **local speech-to-text library** (e.g., [Vosk](https://alphacephei.com/vosk/)) — **no external APIs**.
+    * Sends back the transcribed text to the frontend.
+
+#### **Note**
+
+* I am using fish terminal
+* The solution should run locally and utilize system hardware.
+* Avoid any third-party cloud services.
