Description

I like the timestamp/transcription format that is used when logging transcriptions to the console, would it be possible to add an option to save that output format to a file (aside from simply redirecting the command output to a file)?

Also, I like the accuracy colors but that wouldn't be possible to save in a text file. Perhaps HTML could be an option, but I imagine storing the formatting data would be somewhat inefficient in terms of space usage.

Contributor guide
