Trying to retrive voice to text in Python Vosk in transcription_output

I'm a total noobie with Python having only used DNS before. For over a year I could dictate into my W11 laptop and the text would appear on screen. There is no apparent Save or Save As so I would just X out and open that transcript file in MS Notepad and find that text. But, today the new text I dictated in doesn't appear. I'm presented with a window when I open that output file with – Open (that doesn't save the old text) or Save All or Save Changes so I chose Save All. I then dictated in a proper name in that command line screen and saw that name on screen and X'd out and that output file reflected a file created 2 minutes ago and this time I chose Save Changes but it didn't have that proper name anywhere in that out put file. I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong nor what I need to do to fix this so it saves newly dictated words? Thank you.
