Optional karaoke mode setting

[sensboston]

I would like to say "Big thanks" to the team for this excellent product (it works right out of the box!) and inquire feature request about a possible karaoke mode (sorry, I'm unsure of how to submit a feature request, but I understand the team might be busy with other priorities).

What I would like is to have an additional parameter, --karaoke_mode True, which would tell application to output to the console, alongside the recognized strings, the same string but in the format you're using for JSON output with parameter --word_timestamps (i.e. with timing for the each word in paragraph/sentence). This feature would allow an immediate playback of a karaoke song without waiting for the process to finish (i.e. create complete JSON file to process)

As far as I understand, all parts of this feature request are already exist and working; I'll be glad to create a PR but unfortunately I'm not so good in Python (sorry!) first; also I don't want to "proliferate entities" 😉

Thank you!
