# Attach audio

`POST /v1/transcripts/{data_id}/audio`

Attach an already-uploaded audio file to the live transcript on a data
entry. The transcript node currently being written to via
`appendLiveTranscriptUtterance` or `setLiveTranscript` is wrapped in
an audio/video block carrying the supplied `file_id`, giving the
editor audio playback + transcript-sync.

Idempotent for the same `file_id` (returns 200). Returns 409 if the
transcript is already wrapped with a different `file_id`. Returns 404
if the data entry does not exist.

## Path parameters
