Chalant 1.37.0

When dictation does nothing, it now tells you why.

The silences are gone

Hold the key and nothing happens: until now that could mean your
microphone was denied, or macOS was still downloading the words for your
language, or a permission had been switched off, and Chalant kept every
one of those reasons to itself. Now it says which, out loud, the moment
it happens.

And a screen that always has the answer

Settings, Dictation now lists the four things dictation needs, live:
your microphone, noticing the Option key, typing into your apps, and the
words for your language. Anything missing says so and offers the door
straight to the right place in System Settings. This matters most for
the one failure that can never announce itself: when macOS is not
letting Chalant notice the key, the key press never arrives at all, so
this screen is the only place the truth can live.
