Scribe v2.3.9 — Flexible Transcription Placement & Formatting

Scribe v2.3.9 — Flexible Transcription Placement & Formatting

This completes the feature requests
#67
#100

You can now control where the audio embed and transcript land in your generated notes, how their headers look, and whether the transcript is collapsed by default. Previously the # Audio block and transcript were always pinned to the top with a fixed H1 header and always sat above your summary sections — now it's all up to you.

✨ What's new

Audio & Transcript are now template sections

Every note template has two new built-in sections — 📌 Audio and 📌 Transcript — that sit right alongside your LLM sections (Summary, Insights, etc.) in the template editor. Their position in the template is their position in the finished note.

Reorder anything with ▲ / ▼

Each section now has move-up/move-down buttons. Want the transcript below your summary? Move it down. Want the audio embed at the very bottom? Drag it there. Placement in the note follows the order in the template.

Custom section headers

Section headers are now the full markdown line, so you decide the heading level. Issue #100's request is covered: change # Audio to ## Audio, or leave a header blank for no heading at all. This applies to your LLM sections too — set them to ##, ###, or nothing.

Collapse the transcript by default

The Transcript section has a new "Collapse transcript by default" toggle that renders it inside an Obsidian foldable callout, so long transcripts stay tucked away until you click to expand them.

🛠 Improvements & fixes

• Notes now appear instantly and fill in as they go. The full note structure — audio embed, headers, and "in progress" placeholders — is written up front, then each section is replaced in place as transcription and summarization complete, instead of appending at the end.
• Cleaner failures. If transcription or summarization fails, Scribe now leaves a clear marker and removes the leftover placeholders rather than stranding an "in progress" line in your note.
• Fixed: Cloning a template no longer shares section data with the original (edits to one used to leak into the other).
• Fixed: Transcripts or summaries conta or $&) can no longer corrupt notecontent.

🔄 Upgrading

Your existing templates migrate automatically on first launch — the Audio and Transcript sections are inserted at the top in their current poeaders without a level are normalized toH2. Existing notes are unaffected and new notes come out identical to before unless you choose to rearrange things.
