Feature Request: Visual feedback in Claude Code during recording/processing

[gworley3]

Problem

When using claude-stt inside Claude Code's terminal, there's no visual indication of the current state (recording, processing, etc.). The only feedback is audio (system sounds), which isn't always sufficient — e.g. in noisy environments, with headphones off, or when you just want a quick glance to see if processing is still happening.

The gap between the "stop recording" sound and the "transcription complete" sound can be several seconds with larger models like whisper medium, and there's no way to know if it's still working.

Suggestion

Add visual feedback in the Claude Code terminal during recording and processing. Possible approaches:

• Update the Claude Code status line/bar (if an API is available for plugins)
• Show a spinner or text indicator in the terminal
• Use macOS notifications for state changes

Even a simple "Recording..." / "Processing..." indicator visible in the terminal would be a big improvement.

Environment

• macOS
• Using whisper medium engine (longer processing times make this more noticeable)
• Toggle mode with globe key hotkey
