Use `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor` to submit jobs, and `Future.add_done_callback` to flip the transcription field when the job completes.

Although keep in mind that the callback will be "called in a thread belonging to the process" (say the docs), presumably some thread that is not the UI thread. So the callback needs to post an event to the UI thread's event queue, where it can be picked up by the UI thread's event loop and only then perform the UI updates.

I don't know how that's done in Pyside, though. I couldn't find a clear example. You might have to use a QThread instead to handle it.

Thank you. Perhaps I should trigger the transcription thread from the UI thread, then? It is a UI button that initiates it after all.

Thank you.
