docs: fold voice dictation notes into the dependency list

Browse source 
No other feature gets its own README section; the install doc is a
dependency list and keybindings live in the cheatsheet. The detailed
setup notes live in the knowledge base, so the README only keeps the
short parentheticals a fresh install actually needs.

- fcitx5-hangul

PCM is the headset-jack mic, which is silent when nothing is plugged in)

with Intel graphics set up for Vulkan)
- whisrs-git (AUR; voice dictation daemon, see below)
- whisrs-git (AUR; hold-to-talk voice dictation on the Copilot key. The stock
AUR build is too slow for dictation: rebuild locally with -march=native and
the vulkan cargo feature, see ~/Projects/whisrs-local-build)
There are probably more, I will update the list next time I'm
installing it on a new computer.
Voice dictation
===============
The Copilot key (on newer laptops this replaced the right Ctrl key; it
sends SUPER+SHIFT+F23) toggles voice dictation. Hold it to record and
release to transcribe: one whisrs toggle fires on press, another on
release. whisrs transcribes locally with a whisper.cpp model and types
the text at the cursor in any window, including terminals running the
dockerized agent harnesses. Text injection uses the Wayland
virtual-keyboard protocol on Hyprland, with a uinput fallback that the
package's udev rule grants access to.
The config lives in ~/.config/whisrs/config.toml (set [audio] device =
"pipewire" so capture goes through PipeWire) and the model in
~/.local/share/whisrs/models/. The daemon runs as the systemd user
service whisrs.service.
The stock AUR build decodes on the CPU with generic -march flags, which
makes dictation take around five seconds. On this machine the package
is rebuilt locally with -march=native plus the vulkan cargo feature so
decoding runs on the Intel iGPU instead; that drops latency to roughly
a second. After AUR updates, re-apply via
~/Projects/whisrs-local-build/build.sh.
