2. The ● (Circle) button is "start to save captions" and the ■ (Square) button is "stop and exit the application".

3. Start saving: When you click the circle button, a file dialog will open to choose a save location. If you don't choose the direction, the default location is ~/Documents/captions.

4. Stop and exit: When you click the square button, it stops and exit the application. You can find your captions file YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS_captions.txt in the chosen location like following.
