Are transcriptions stored?

Wondering if dictation transcriptions are stored anywhere that I could feed into an LLM for analysis, trends, etc.

Transcriptions aren't stored by default - they go straight to your cursor (or clipboard) and that's it.

There is a file output mode you could use for this:

[output]
mode = "file"
file_path = "/home/you/.local/share/voxtype/transcriptions.txt"
file_mode = "append"

Each transcription gets appended to the file with a newline.

Caveats:

1. No timestamps or metadata - just the raw text, one transcription per line
2. Exclusive mode - when using file output, the text doesn't also get typed at your cursor. You'd lose the primary functionality.

For your use case (LLM analysis, trends), you'd probably want:

• Timestamps on each entry
• A way to log to file while still typing the output (tee behavior)
• Maybe structured format (JSON lines) for easier parsing

None of that exists today, but they'd be reasonable additions. If you'd find this useful, feel free to open a feature request and we can scope it out.
