# TwinMind Security Basics

## Overview
Security best practices for TwinMind: on-device audio processing, encrypted cloud backups, microphone permissions, and data privacy controls. TwinMind uses the Ear-3 speech model (5.26% WER, 3.8% DER) for transcription, with GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini for AI summarization.

## Prerequisites
- TwinMind account (Free, Pro $10/mo, or Enterprise)
- Chrome extension installed and authenticated
- Understanding of TwinMind workflow

## Instructions

### Step 1: Setup

TwinMind operates as a Chrome extension and mobile app with optional API access for Pro/Enterprise users.

```javascript
// TwinMind configuration
const config = {
  apiKey: process.env.TWINMIND_API_KEY,
  model: "ear-3", // Transcription model
  aiModels: ["gpt-4", "claude", "gemini"], // Summary models
};
```

### Step 2: Implementation

```javascript
// TwinMind Security Basics implementation
// Core TwinMind integration
const twinmind = {
  transcriptionModel: "ear-3",
  languages: ["en", "es", "ko", "ja", "fr"],
  features: ["transcription", "summary", "action-items"],
  privacyMode: "on-device", // Audio never stored
};

// Check transcription capabilities
async function verify() {
  const health = await fetch("https://api.twinmind.com/v1/health");
  console.log("TwinMind status:", await health.json());
}
```

### Step 3: Verification

```bash
# Verify TwinMind integration
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TWINMIND_API_KEY" https://api.twinmind.com/v1/health | jq .
```
