Is there any plan to provide a REPL mode?

Currently, this program just receives parameters, transcribe, and then exit. It's not very convenient if I want to call it from my program. And the model loading, resources initializing costs are necessary every time.
If it provides a REPL mode, other programs can interacts with it via STDIO.
I have already built a usable version in my fork, if you need, I can help to implement the REPL mode.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion and for already working on a REPL version in your fork! A REPL mode indeed sounds very useful for scenarios where frequent transcription calls are needed without paying the cost of model reloading each time.We’d be happy to welcome a PR with your implementation.In the longer term, I’m also considering providing a Python interface (via pybind11) as another way to integrate the model into other applications, but that will take some time to plan.

Thanks again for the valuable input!
