Audio Transcription Client

@email:nvh0@yahoo.com This Python application records audio from your microphone, sends it to a gRPC server for transcription, and outputs the transcriptions. The user can control the start and stop of the program with specific key inputs (s to start, q to stop). The transcriptions can either be printed to the console or saved to a file.

Features

• Record Audio: Captures audio from the system microphone in chunks.
• Send to Server: Transmits audio to a gRPC server for transcription.
• Transcription: Outputs transcriptions of the audio in the desired target language (eng or vie).
• Stop Words: Filters out unwanted phrases or noise words.
• Start/Stop Control: Users can start and stop the program manually using s and q.
• Save Option: Optionally save transcriptions to a file.
