I'm working on a project for voice-controlling a robot and want to use whisper.cpp but the problem is that it is only a terminal program. I want to use it in way similar to the original whisper

Research direction
The issue asks if it's possible to modify a command example to listen for one command and stop. The user wants to integrate whisper.cpp into a voice controlled robot but finds it's only a terminal program. The maintainers should clarify which specific example is being referenced and whether such a modification is planned or feasible. The examples directory likely contains streaming or command line demos. Investigating the existing example code (e.g., in examples/) and the whisper.cpp API for one shot transcription would help answer the question.
