One thing I keep looking for is transcribing while I'm talking. I feel like I need that visual feedback. Does voxtype support that?

(I wasn't able to find anything at glance)

Handy claims to have an overlay, but it seems to not work on my system.

Not sure how it works in other OS's but in Omarchy [1] you hold down `Super + Ctrl + X` to start recording and release it to stop, while it's recording you'll see a red voice recording icon in the top bar so it's clear when its recording.

Although as llms-py is a local web App I had to build my own visual indicator [2] which also displays a red microphone next to the prompt when it's recording. It also supports both Tap On/Off and hold down for recording modes. When using voxtype I'm just using the tool for transcription (i.e. not Omarchy OS-wide dictation feature) like:

$ voxtype transcribe /path/to/audio.wav

If you're interested the Python source code to support multiple voice transcription backends is at: [3]

Ah, the thing I really want is to see the words that I'm speaking being transcribed (i.e. realtime) For some reason I rarely see that feature.

I am using a window manager with Waybar. Voxtype can display a status icon on Waybar [1], it is enough for me to know what is going on.
