Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be awesome to chat to LLM models with voice together with RAG and the new memory feature this could provide quick responses to questions a user might have. They can ask a question quickly with their voice and listen to the response without having to break away from there current task.

Describe the solution you'd like
I've found a solution which supports offline voice assistant using Ollama and Whisper speech recognition models completly offline.
The voice sounds very natural especially with premium voice support on mac and the response time is quick

In addition it would useful to be able to interrupt mid response and ask another question

Example Scenario
Suppose I work for a company, I can upload all the clients info to a local private instance
I begin drafting an email I can quickly ask the via voice:
Regarding client x what plan are they on? when did they join our company? whats there membership
whilst i'm drafting the email etc
