Another use case scenario for this that happens frequently: I'm dictating and someone walks up to me and starts talking. Either their voice is going to be integrated into my output or my reply to them is going to be put into the output. So I have to end my recording and get back to where the recording needs to be inserted before the processing ends! And of course I have to start a new recording later! All instead of just being able to hit pause 😉
great idea
yes, letterly has this feature! Check out their custom prompts as well- and their wehoooks!!! https://letterly.app/
I like very much the "hold earth key" on Mac to record from other solutions.
I kind of think push-to-talk should be the default mode (again it is in WisprFlow and it was so intuitive) on the desktop app. Having to press a button twice introduces massive interaction friction. Once I had the shortcuts configured correctly for push-to-talk, things were a breeze on Mac desktop app.
100% essential and must feature. Especially since it is such a basic requirement, which most people would find useful, and for some, it’s a significant improvement over this tiny improvement.
This is an older suggestion, too! Im pretty bummed this one hasn’t been picked up yet, sometimes I just need a few minutes to gather my thoughts or something comes up and I have to stop recording to talk to someone and then go back to what I was doing with the recording. Having a pause would be a huge QOL change for me, and I’m sure for many of us.
Desperately need this. Use case: I'm currently watching a Loom recording and need to pause it to add my thoughts. I don't want to manually have to go to my notes app, paste one chunk, then go back to Chrome, click play, start recording again, x30. I just want to pause recording until I have something else I want to say
This would be super useful. Currently, I have to either restart the recording after every sentence... or use LLM prompt to make it continue the sentence if it sounds like I was just contemplating.
Come on guys. This is really a pretty basic feature request that should have been prioritized a long while ago.
