User is developing a terminal-based UI application for audio recording and transcription. They are unsure about the layout for transcription boxes and are seeking opinions on how to optimize space and usability.
I am making a Terminal based UI application (UI that is rendered in the Terminal) that allows users to record audio from mic input and internal device audio and transcribe the audio into any language using various different models concurrently. I planned on for this to be only self use but I thought it was a unique take on a known use case of apps so maybe others might be interested. However I was not sure what the best layout was for the app would be. In the image the user text area, markdown preview, and both of the transcription boxes are shown but I think it is wasting space. The preview I think can be a toggle to view but for the transcription boxes I was not sure how to handle it (Or really would a preview of the generated transcription even be needed). Wanted to hear some opinions.
