Continuous Mode

Continuous mode is designed for long recordings such as meetings, lectures, or interviews.

Fixed Interval Mode

Transcribe at regular intervals:

# Transcribe every 60 seconds
asr2clip --interval 60 -o ~/meeting.txt

VAD + Interval

Combine voice activity detection with a maximum interval:

# Auto-transcribe on silence, but at least every 120 seconds
asr2clip --vad --interval 120 -o ~/meeting.txt

Behavior

In continuous mode:

  • Audio is recorded continuously
  • Transcription happens automatically (on silence or at interval)
  • Transcription runs asynchronously — recording continues while previous segments are being transcribed, with results output in order
  • Press Ctrl+C once to stop — remaining audio is transcribed before exit
  • Press Ctrl+C twice to force exit immediately
  • Transcripts are appended to the output file with timestamps

Tips

  • Always use -o FILE to save transcripts — clipboard only holds the latest result
  • Combine with --vad for natural speech-boundary segmentation
  • Use --interval as a fallback to ensure nothing is missed during long pauses
