   Does your Android Copilot app have a bug (where it loses focus) when using   
   speech to text mic keyboards (IME's) which tie into Android's   
   Recognitionservice callbacks like OpenBoard, HeliBoard, FlorisBoard,   
   AnySoftKeyboard, and others which are hard wired to use the system's   
   built-in voice input (either Google or Samsung speech API recognition   
   service)?   
      
   My Copilot app takes an indeterminate number of taps on the keyboard   
   microphone button before the Google or Samsung voice recognition "sticks"   
   when dealing with Copilot (but they work fine with all other apps).   
      
   I was able to get Sayboard (which uses the Vosk engine to recognize speech   
   to Androids RecognitionService callbacks) to take slightly fewer taps, but   
   the English (small) database isn't anywhere nearly as good as the Google or   
   Samsung speech-to-text databases.   
      
   After hours of testing mic-enabled keyboards, only Whisper Keyboard (which   
   doesn't rely on Android's RecognitionService at all) worked on the first   
   tap with Copilot (without being logged into Microsoft). The offline Whisper   
   speech recognition database is far better than the offline Vosk database   
   also.   
      
   Whisper.cpp is a completely self-contained voice IME with its own mic   
   button so it contains the entire InputConnection.commitText pipeline, while   
   the rest hand off to Android's voice input framework first and then back   
   into Copilot's text entry IME field.   
      
   I don't like Whisper's GUI which requires holding down the mic button in   
   order for its direct injection to record and inject your speech as text, so   
   I'm hoping to find some other direct injection engine out there that works   
   with Copilot without logging into Microsoft.   
      
   I may try Transcribro (with Silero-VAD for detection) or SendRight but I   
   first wanted to know if you also have the same issue with the Copilot app   
   on Android not accepting mic input reliably from Android's   
   RecognitionService.
