How can I use this (or something similar) for live translation? I don't mind if there's a 30s delay.

As in I don't want to input a file, I want to input the microphone sound.

Was wondering the same.

I really wish I would have been paying attention in Unix class...

Something like `microphone | chunk 3s | whisper | stdout` would be SO COOL!!! I think that's possible but too lazy to look more.

Would also like to know this. It looks like they're processing the audio file in 30 second chunks, so a naive approach of keeping a buffer of 30-second input stream chunks and just continually writing to an output .mp3 could work...
