Description
Problem description
termux-speech-to-text -p
doesn't print progressive output as it comes, but seems to buffer it. It comes out in a larger chunk.
Steps to reproduce
Run the command
termux-speech-to-text -p
speak a lot, watch as no output comes until either the end, or when enough has buffered up.
Expected behavior
I'd expect it to output each line as each new word is recognized. That's what progressive means.
Additional information
I've tried to see if it's the terminal or script that buffers, so I wrapped the execution in:
stdbuf -i0 -o0 /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/termux-api SpeechToText
But there is no difference.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with termux-speech-to-text -p and the /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/termux-api SpeechToText entry point named in the report. Trace where progressive output is buffered; done when each newly recognized line is emitted promptly during the command, rather than in larger chunks.
