[Feature Request]: Support Third-Party Streaming Speech Recognition APIs

[Gnonymous]

Hi, thank you for the great work on this project. I really like it and it also really help me! I believe adding some feature would significantly improve the overall experience.

Background

I would like to request support for configurable third-party streaming speech recognition (ASR) APIs, such as Volcengine API, similar to how Spokenly allows users to configure external ASR services. Because different models have better support for different languages

Motivation

The current macOS built-in speech recognition has limited accuracy, especially for non-English languages. In my case (Chinese):

• Recognition accuracy is noticeably lower than expected.
• Real-time follow scrolling is unreliable due to recognition errors.
• Overall usability is reduced in multilingual scenarios.

Observed Issue

During testing, I also noticed:

• Recording sometimes does not automatically stop at the end of speech.
• This behavior seems more frequent when using Chinese.
• It may be related to how speech boundaries are detected, though I am not certain.

Proposed Improvement

• Allow users to configure third-party streaming ASR APIs.
• Provide a pluggable architecture for custom ASR backends.

This would:

• Improve multilingual accuracy.
• Enhance real-time responsiveness.
• Provide flexibility for advanced users.

Thank you for considering this feature request.
