Is it possible to add transcribed text to a file in real time?

With the python client? Yes. The server sends a list of last 10 segments to the client which has the timestamps for each segment. That can be used in python client to write the transcriptions in the required format to a file.

Doing python your_client.py > transcription.txt does get your transcription to a file, though you can only view the transcription after you've exited the client (and there are a bunch of ugly symbols at the start of your file).
python your_client.py | tee -i transcription.txt sadly does not get you the transcriptions live. This has probably to do with flushing working differently for piped programs. For now I just set that print(element) to print(element, flush=True) and then tee does bring use. The transcription file does get all the half-formed sentences (and ugly clear-terminal symbols) though, so there is a lot of duplication.

It does not seem straightforward to remove that duplication since the code is not keeping track of the last message received so that can be written down when the sentence is no longer being edited. This seems possible, but I have now exhausted the amount of time I can spend on this.
