Oh, this does sound cool. Couple of questions that aren't clear from the readme (to me). What exactly does the silence detection mean? does that mean it'll wait until a pause, and then send the audio off to whisper, and return the output (and stop the process)? Same question with continuous. Does that just mean it continues going until CTRL+C? Nvm, answered my own question, looks like yes for both[0][1]. Cool this seems pretty great actually.
