How to pause recording

[loudly-soft]

The integration with Whisper works well. Awesome. I'm a noob to Streamlit, so I'm still trying to figure out how to style the recording button to match the color of my primary buttons.

Also, just a thought, maybe a pause recording feature would be useful to have to give a person time to think what to say between sentences.

Hello,

Thanks for the nice comment :)

Regarding styling : I did my best to auto-style the button as closely as possible to streamlit built-in buttons. The button styling should adapt to the theme of your app to some extent, but may not match exactly the native button style for some theme choices. Reproducing a styling logic that would match the native button style for all themes is not that trivial. Knowing in details how streamlit handles buttons styling could help a great deal, but I didn't find the precise information (some colors used to theme streamlit's buttons are not exactly colors passed in the theme object, but look like a linear combination of them).

Regarding the pausing feature : I don't think I will implement it as it would complicate the widget uselessly (would require to deal with three possible states: recording, finished, and paused, requiring more than a simple button as interface). If you have a good idea how to do it with a clean and simple interface, why not !

Happy new year!

Cheers,

Baptiste

Happy new year to you, too.

I see. The current button styling still looks good on my app. It's actually good that the recording button looks a bit different from the other form buttons.

I've got the pause idea from this audio recording component. It's beyond me how it was done.
