/**
 * Speech-to-Text using sherpa-onnx-node.
 *
 * Uses Whisper (offline/batch) as the recognizer, gated by Silero VAD so
 * transcription only runs when a complete utterance has been detected.
 * Audio is captured from the microphone via parec (PulseAudio) or arecord (ALSA).
 *
 * Model layout expected under models_dir:
 *   silero_vad.onnx
 *   sherpa-onnx-whisper-<name>/
 *     <name>-encoder.int8.onnx
 *     <name>-decoder.int8.onnx
 *     <name>-tokens.txt
 *
 * Available Whisper model names (pass as whisper_name):
 *   tiny.en  base.en  small.en  medium.en  large-v3  large-v3-turbo
 * Download with: bash download-models.sh [model-name]
