Incorrectly detects meeting while using dictation apps

I've been using apps for Speech-To-Text (STT) and Lookaway detects these apps as a meeting and pauses. For example: MacWhisper. Using the keyboard shortcut to enable STT and speaking something even for a handful of seconds triggers the meeting related pause of Lookaway.

Hi, LookAway detects meetings via microphone usage so this is expected (for now). I am working on improving meeting detection so it has less false positives like this. For now, you can add the app MacWhisper to the exceptions list under Settings → Smart Pause → Meeting Detection Options

Oh wow, I did not know of this option. This is neat. It solved my problem. Thanks!
