🎨 Optional UI (Speech Indicator)

private lazy var speechIndicatorView: UIView = {
    let view = UIView()
    view.backgroundColor = UIColor.systemBlue
    view.layer.cornerRadius = 10
    view.alpha = 0

    let micIcon = UIImageView(image: UIImage(systemName: "mic"))
    micIcon.tintColor = .white

    let label = UILabel()
    label.text = "EN"
    label.textColor = .white
    label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12)

    let stack = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [micIcon, label])
    stack.spacing = 4
    stack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

    view.addSubview(stack)

    NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
        stack.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
        stack.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor)
    ])

    return view
}()
