Enable audio compression by default

Keep Whispering's "compress audio before transcription" setting enabled by default.

Why:

  • It speeds up remote transcription materially. The setting has been about 5x faster for me.
  • It is a no-brainer default to leave on, while still letting users opt out in the transcription settings panel.

Impact:

  • Fresh installs and resets start with compression enabled.
  • The existing checkbox still controls the preference for users who want to turn it off.

The transcription settings panel already exposes this checkbox. Setting the workspace default to true keeps compression enabled out of the box and avoids changing the UI surface.
