Add taskHint = .dictation to Talk Mode's SFSpeechAudioBufferRecognitionRequest, matching what Voice Wake already sets. Without this hint the recognizer may not properly initialize audio capture, causing Talk Mode to appear unresponsive. Co-Authored-By: dmiv <[email protected]>

Follow-up landed on main in d5b305b GitHub's deleted-head rebase path kept the contributor commit but dropped the maintainer follow-up that added the changelog entry plus the Talk Mode speech-request defaults regression coverage/helper, so I landed those directly on main afterward. Also: the earlier landing comment here was mangled by shell expansion; ignore that one. Thanks @dmiv! |

Summary
Set the
taskHintproperty on the speech recognition request for Talk Mode on macOS. This improves recognition accuracy by telling the system the audio is coming from a dictation/conversation context.Motivation
Without the task hint, macOS speech recognition may optimize for the wrong use case (e.g., search queries vs. dictation), resulting in lower transcription quality during Talk Mode sessions.
