Feature: Add SenseVoice for faster offline voice input on macOS #47

Description

@LauraGPT

Hi! TypeNo is great — privacy-first voice input for macOS.

For a local voice input tool, SenseVoice offers significant advantages:

Why SenseVoice?

  • 5x faster than Whisper — non-autoregressive architecture
  • 234M params — runs fast on MacBook without GPU
  • Apple Silicon optimized via ONNX/CoreML (through Sherpa-ONNX)
  • 50+ languages — auto-detects language
  • No cloud, no API — 100% local

macOS integration paths

  1. Sherpa-ONNX with Swift — native macOS/iOS bindings, already supports SenseVoice
  2. Python: pip install funasrAutoModel(model="iic/SenseVoiceSmall")
