Heyy thanks for the feedback!
A simple loading indicator, like an infinite loop, would be perfectly fine. We don't actually need to see how much progress something is making. Users don't need a detailed progress bar. All they need is a visual cue that shows something is happening after they've pressed a button. That lets them know their action was received and is being processed.
We need visual signals to let users know when the recording has begun, ended, and when the system is working on processing the audio. Think about other voice-to-text programs, like those made by Google. They clearly show users when they can start, stop recording, and when the system is busy converting their voice to text. We need to do the same thing.
I agree but as I said the infinite loading loop may not work due to it adding padding. A progress bar at the top of the recognition toggle should work, but I'm not sure how that can be infinite.
BTW I created #51 and #53 to address those points.
Thank you very much for proactively taking this feedback
This voice keyboard app for Android phones is fantastic! I really enjoy using it. The error rate is quite low. There are just a couple of things I think could be improved.
First, would it be possible to turn off the sound notification that plays when you start and stop recording?
Second, when you start recording, a message letting the user know it's recording would be helpful. Similarly, when you stop recording, a loading or processing sign would be great. Right now, I press stop and don't know how long the processing will take. From a user interface standpoint, these small changes would make a big difference.
