What happened?
Observed behavior
The UI gets stuck showing "Transcribing..." indefinitely. Tapping the button again (a short tap) "unfreezes" it — the UI resets back to the pre-recording state, making it clear that no actual transcription happened; the request just silently returned nothing and the UI never accounted for that.
Expected behavior
The app should handle the "recording stopped with effectively no audio" case explicitly and predictably:
- Either skip transcription entirely and reset to idle state right away, or
- Show a quick, clear message (e.g. "Recording too short") instead of hanging on "Transcribing...".
Either way, the user shouldn't need an extra tap to recover from a stuck state — this should resolve on its own.
Note: this seems like a straightforward edge case to handle explicitly (detect near-zero-length recording) rather than a deep architectural issue.
How to reproduce
- Start recording.
- Immediately stop it (within roughly a second, before any meaningful audio is captured).
