Summary
The user wants to remove or customize the hardcoded "Speak now" message shown by the Halo spinner. Maintainer KoljaB confirmed (2026-05-02) that this text is hardcoded and currently requires cloning the repo and editing the source line directly to change.
Changes
Add optional constructor parameters to AudioToTextRecorder in RealtimeSTT/audio_recorder.py (e.g. spinner_listening_text="speak now", spinner_wakeword_text="say {wake_words}", spinner_transcribing_text="transcribing", spinner_recording_text="recording"), defaulting to the current literals to preserve behavior.
Fixes #300
