VoiceInk Option to specify custom sounds

In settings give an option to specify your own custom WAV files for start/stop dictation sounds.

I think I will add multiple options instead. Do you have any suggestions for sound effects? I've been searching for good sounds but couldn't find any.

Hm, I agree with the idea for custom sounds, but I don't think we would need a UI implementation for that. I would recommend to just add or replace the default ones (which are then placed and loaded from there) in the ApplicationSupport Folder. It would be a more easy implementation for the developer:

If transcritpion_start.m4a/transcritpion_stop.m4a exists in a specific location of /Users/username/Library/Application Support/com.prakashjoshipax.VoiceInk/???:

Then load this instead of the standard

And save the development cost/time for a nice custom-sound picker.
