# Preprocessing Workflow

This folder contains the preprocessing pipeline for adding new voice notes to the dataset.

## Folder Structure

- `raw_audio/` - Raw recordings as they come from your device
- `transcripts/` - AI-generated transcripts for the raw audio files
- `queue/` - Processed audio files ready to be added to the main dataset

## Workflow

1. Add new recordings to `raw_audio/`
2. Generate transcripts and place them in `transcripts/` (filenames should match audio files)
3. Process/clean audio as needed and move to `queue/`
4. Run `python3 preprocessing/move_to_dataset.py` to add new files to the main dataset
5. The script will automatically:
   - Assign new IDs to files
   - Move files to the appropriate directories
   - Regenerate the task list and dataset metadata

This keeps the main dataset organized while providing a staging area for new data.
