 - **OpenRouter.** Choose `OpenRouter` with its fake key. The notes read as for ElevenLabs.
     - Scribe v2, public. Choose `ElevenLabs Scribe v2`, play `Fixture Episode 1` of `PodNotes Fixture` and run the audio command. `$NET log` shows the catalog `GET`, then one `POST https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/audio/transcriptions` with `contentType` `application/json`, under 1,000 `uploadBytes` and the episode's address as `sourceUrl`, and no request for `/episode-1.wav` after the command.
     - Grok STT 2.0. On `Recommended (Grok STT 2.0)`, play `Fixtures/Local Fixture.wav` and run the audio command. The `POST` is `application/json` with about 4/3 of the file's bytes, its audio in base64, and no `sourceUrl`.
-    - In parts. Write the 70 min MP3 from the OpenAI steps below, play it and run the audio command on Grok. `$NET log` shows three `POST https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/audio/transcriptions` entries of about 1.9 MB each, one after the other. The fixture answers each with two speakers, so the note numbers six, and the progress notice ends with `OpenRouter transcribed this episode in 3 parts, and speaker labels restart in each, so one person can have several labels.`
+    - In parts. Write a 70 min MP3 of two voices, a 300 Hz tone and a 700 Hz tone that take turns every 45 s: `ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "aevalsrc='0.5*sin(2*PI*if(lt(mod(t\,90)\,45)\,300\,700)*t)':s=8000:d=4200" -ac 1 -ar 8000 -b:a 8k "$VAULT/Fixtures/Two Voices.mp3"`. Play it and run the audio command on Grok. `$NET log` shows three `POST https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/audio/transcriptions` entries of about 1.9 MB each, one after the other, then the speaker reel, one of about 82 KB whose `decodedSeconds` is `61.56`: six 9 s clips with 1.5 s of silence between two. The fixture numbers the voices in the order they sound in each request, so the second part, which starts with the high tone, numbers them the other way. The note still numbers the low voice `1` and the high voice `2` throughout, the paragraph at `00:23:15` runs on across the first part boundary, and the progress notice ends with `Transcription completed and saved.` With `ElevenLabs Scribe v2` the parts go as multipart, no reel follows, each part's fixed answer numbers two more speakers, and the notice ends with `OpenRouter transcribed this episode in 3 parts, and speaker labels restart in each, so one person can have several labels.`
 - **OpenAI.** Choose `OpenAI` with its fake key. `Untranscribed Episode` downloads its WAV and `$NET log` shows a `POST https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions` answered by the fixture provider. The note holds the fixture text with no timestamps.
     - In parts. Write an MP3 longer than 2,070 s into the vault, for example 70 min in 4 MB: `ffmpeg -f lavfi -i sine=frequency=440:duration=4200 -ac 1 -ar 8000 -b:a 8k "$VAULT/Fixtures/Long Fixture.mp3"`. Play it ([local-files.md](./local-files.md)) and run the audio command. `$NET log` shows three `POST https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions` entries of about 1.4 MB each, one after the other, and the note holds the fixture text three times with no timestamps.
     - Speaker labels. With `Speaker labels` on, as in a library that labelled speakers with OpenAI on 2.24.0, the progress notice ends with `Saved without speaker labels, because OpenAI does not label speakers. These providers do: ElevenLabs, Deepgram, OpenRouter.` and stays until clicked.

 Budgets use decimal bytes. The brief's 96,533-byte reference is unexplained.
