Make sure that your terminal has permissions to access the microphone. In macOS, go to Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Microphone and make sure that the Terminal application has permissions.

Additionally, you can try with a lower volume threshold using *--live_volume_threshold* argument.

I'm having hard time with --live_transcribe with error message:
sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error opening InputStream: Invalid sample rate [PaErrorCode -9997]
My mic is capable of recording at 16000 rate and I am able to record from command line with arecord. Any hints are welcome :-)

Ok, as simple as setting the rate in .asound.conf sorts the rate issue.
