 # DiscordLiveTranscriptionBot
-A discord bot which transcribes your audio in real time using a combination of API calls to other services.
+
+
+### A simple Discord bot which transcribes your Discord conversations in real time.
+# - - -
+# How It Works
+ Using py-cord, the bot can gain access to the voice channel you invite it to to listen
+        to your conversation and then poll a speech-to-text API service to transcribe the conversation
+        in real time. The transcription is separated by user and printed to the output channel in Discord.
+
+ When you send the bot the shutdown command, it sends a request to ChatGPT to summarize the transcription
+           of the conversation. This is then posted to the discord channel.
