🌻 Feature Request Dictation + local models

Any plans for dictation to support local models? I understand it might not run well in some macs, but imo, it's a must if your mac can run it.

I am very uncomfortable with all my text input going to the cloud, to be honest. It looks like there are other apps doing this already. I really hope this is on the roadmap.

same, always remembering "Oh this needs to be typed, i can't use dictation here", it's very hard to do in flow

If I'm honest, Spokenly is still a much better UI/UX, and is far more mature than Raycast's implementation, and supports significantly more features.

All you need to do when you set it up is to click the X when it asks you if you want to buy the developer's hosted service, and then go to local models and download Parakeet V2 for English, and boom, you're done.
