Voice typing for the Linux desktop.

* Types the result directly into any focused application using Portals for wide desktop support (X11, Wayland).
* Multi-language support with switchable primary and secondary languages on the fly.
* Works out of the box with the built-in Whisper Tiny model. Download additional models from within the app to improve accuracy.
* Optional text polishing with LLMs (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI), with support for a custom context and vocabulary.
* Supports self-hosted services like vLLM, Ollama, and llama.cpp (cloud services supported but not required).
