First off, thank you for this. A privacy-first dictation tool that actually works this well on Linux has been missing for a long time, and I liked it enough to feature it on my YouTube channel.
One thing that would make it far more useful for me: an option to return cloud transcriptions with timestamps, ideally exportable as SRT.
Right now I get clean text, which is perfect most of the time. But with longer audio I often need the timing too, either to navigate the transcript or to turn it straight into subtitles. A simple toggle (plain text vs timestamped) at the point of transcription would cover both cases without cluttering the default output.
SRT specifically would be ideal since it drops straight into video editors and YouTube, but any timestamped format (VTT, or segment-level start/end times) would already solve the core need.
Thanks again for the work on this.
