I Made a simple bash tool to record & transcribe audio from keyboard

I Made a simple bash tool to record & transcribe audio
it very simple:
keyboard shortcut > start recodering > same keyboard shortcut > stop recording > ts it > pbcopy it

#!/bin/bash

# Define the recording file path (always the same file)
RECORDING_FILE="$HOME/.cache/tmp_recording.mp3"
PIDFILE="/tmp/recording_pid"
TS_FILE="$HOME/.local/bin/ts"

if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
    # If the PID file exists, stop the recording
    kill $(cat $PIDFILE)
    rm $PIDFILE
    notify-send "Recording stopped"

    # Execute the additional task
    $TS_FILE "$RECORDING_FILE" | xclip -selection clipboard
    notify-send "Transcribed to clipboard"
else
    # If the PID file does not exist, start a new recording
    ffmpeg -y -f alsa -i default $RECORDING_FILE &
    echo $! > $PIDFILE
    notify-send "Recording started"
fi

on i3 my shortcut is:

# Start/Stop audio recording
bindsym $mod+Shift+a exec --no-startup-id ~/.toggle_recording.sh
