A push-to-talk option would be a fine addition for something like this, let you fire off single sentences quickly.

Interesting, could implement this as an option. Out of curiosity what would you map it to on your keyboard?

I would make it just use the same hotkey, but held down. So in the default case, tapping option-space would start a normal recording session, tapping again would stop it; holding option-space down would start a PTT session, releasing would end it.

PTT would be such a naturally good fit here imo.
