[Feature] Support audio and output history

[mturilin]

Problem

I see two problems:

1. If recording is longer than 60 seconds, then it's stopped and discarded completely. And it's not good for longer voice sessions.
2. If the recording is not successfully pasted, you need to go and look in the logs for your transcription. It's better to have transcription history that also contains original audio recordings that can be trimmed to manage disk space.

Proposed Solution

I propose a simple solution and working on PR for it that will allow:

1. Longer recording sessions, for example for up to 10 minutes and second, and when recording session is completed, it's automatically pasted instead of being discarded.
2. In addition to this, the audio will be stored in a history folder with raw transcription and processed text for future reference and troubleshooting.

Alternatives Considered

The only alternative here would be to use different applications that allow for longer audio processing and history support, but I want to make VoxType work because it's great.

Thanks for the feature request! Good news: both of these are largely addressed already.

1. Long recordings are no longer discarded

As of v0.6.0, when a recording hits max_duration_secs, the audio is transcribed instead of silently discarded. You can increase the limit for longer sessions:

[audio]
max_duration_secs = 600  # 10 minutes

2. Transcription history to a file

You can use post_process.command as a tee — it receives the transcribed text on stdin and passes its stdout through as the final output:

[output.post_process]
command = "tee -a ~/.local/share/voxtype/history.txt"
timeout_ms = 5000

This appends every transcription to a file while still outputting the text normally. You could get fancier with timestamps:

[output.post_process]
command = "tee >(awk '{print strftime(\"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\"), $0}' >> ~/.local/share/voxtype/history.txt)"
timeout_ms = 5000

Audio file caching (saving the original .wav recordings alongside transcriptions) isn't supported yet — that's tracked in #28.

Let me know if this covers your use case or if there's something else you need.

It's great that the recording is not dropped anymore.

The history via post processing is viable. However, what's your appetite towards making it a first class citizen? History is a table stakes use case for STT apps like Wispr, Aqua, and others.
