On Android the microphone now opens the app handling
RECOGNIZE_SPEECH (FUTO Voice Input, Google's), the default the person
chose in Android, and puts the text it returns where the cursor stood,
as Dictation does; cancelled, nothing. Only where none is installed, or
it can't be opened, does speech_to_text listen in line as before.
halkyon_app: VoiceInputApp (one listen, an answer once closed) on the
channel app.halkyon/voice_input, which DeviceSpeechInput asks first at
every listen, answering SpeechStart.finished so that Dictation doesn't
listen again; speech_to_text isn't touched on that route, so our app
asks for no microphone. SpeechInput.listen and Dictation.start take the
prompt the voice input app shows (the field's hint).
Each app: VoiceInput.kt (queryIntentActivities, startActivityForResult,
the first of EXTRA_RESULTS) attached in MainActivity, which hands it
activity results, and RECOGNIZE_SPEECH among the manifest's queries.
The privacy pages of Learn and Meditate say so.
Our own Whisper and Meditate's dream recordings are dropped (D18).
Whats-New: The microphone now dictates through your phone's voice input app, such as FUTO Voice Input.

On GrapheneOS, which installs no recogniser, the microphone did nothing
and stayed listening: speech_to_text's initialize throws a
PlatformException (recognizerNotAvailable) there rather than answering
false, and DeviceSpeechInput let it through. A listen now answers how it
went (SpeechStart: listening, noRecognizer, unavailable) and never
throws; Learn's field and Meditate's dream say that no speech
recognition is installed and name two to install (FUTO Voice Input,
Google's speech services), in halkyon_app's texts. It also passes
androidNoBluetooth, as the apps declare no Bluetooth permission the
plugin would otherwise ask for.
Whats-New: Where the device has no speech recognition, the microphone says so and how to get one.
Whats-New-De: Wo das Gerät keine Spracherkennung hat, sagt das Mikrofon das und wie du eine bekommst.

Learn's `SpeechInput` and `DeviceSpeechInput` (ADR 0021, D67) are
halkyon_app's now, and its `FakeSpeechInput` is in `testing.dart`, so
Meditate's dream journal (ADR 0038, D15) listens through the same code.
Learn imports them from there and behaves as before: its composer and
its tests are unchanged but for the imports, and `DeviceSpeechInput()`
asks for what it asked before.
`DeviceSpeechInput` takes three options, off by default:
- `preferOnDevice`: on Android, recognition on the device where it can
(Android 12 on), else offline; should that fail before a word is
heard (not a pause), it listens as Android otherwise does from then
on.
- `pauseFor`: how long a pause may last before the recogniser stops.
- `listenFor`: how long one listen may last at most.
`Dictation` writes what is heard where the cursor stands
(`DictationInsertion`: in place of a selection, set apart by a space),
shows the words so far, and listens again after each pause while it is
on, stopping by itself after three listens running heard nothing.
speech_to_text moves from Learn's pubspec to halkyon_app's, the lock
unchanged. Todo, Train and Meditate link the plugin now; their
generated plugin registrants (macOS, Windows) say so. An app declares
the microphone itself, and Todo and Train declare none, so nothing
there can listen.
