[FEATURE]: Speech-to-Text Voice Input for Lazy People in OpenCode
### Feature hasn't been suggested before. - [x] I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before. ### Describe the enhancement you want to request Hi! First of all, congratulations on the amazing project. I've been working on a Speech-to-Text voice input feature that integrates directly into the TUI. It allows users to start audio recording with a keybind, automatically transcribe speech using different providers, and insert the resulting text directly into the prompt. I've built an initial working version, currently tested only on macOS, and the system includes: - Real-time audio recording via FFmpeg; - Support for Groq Whisper, OpenAI Whisper, and local whisper.cpp; - Automatic microphone/device detection; - Interactive menus for choosing provider, model, and audio device; - Persistent configuration stored in ~/.opencode/state/speech.json; - Customizable keybinds (Ctrl+X v, Ctrl+X P, Ctrl+X D); - Smooth flow: record → transcribe → insert into prompt input; Would this be something you'd be interested in integrating into the project?

Strengths
- Innovative integration of speech-to-text directly into TUI prompt input
- Supports multiple transcription providers and local/offline options
- Customizable keybinds and device detection enhance usability
- Addresses a real pain point for users who want faster input methods
Risks
- Limited initial testing (macOS only) may hinder adoption
- Speech-to-text accuracy and latency could vary widely by provider and environment
- Niche user base, primarily TUI users who want voice input
- Potential complexity in maintaining multiple transcription backends

µJS, a 5KB alternative to Htmx and Turbo with zero dependencies
I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo.It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single <script> tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies.Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element.At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever.Playground: https://mujs.org/playgroundComparison with HTMX and Turbo: https://mujs.org/comparisonAbout the project creation, why and when: https://mujs.org/aboutGitHub: https://github.com/Digicreon/muJSHappy to discuss the project.
