Problem
Changing microphones, spoken languages, or transcription models currently requires leaving the immediate dictation flow for settings. The menu bar exposes the active provider/model label and dictation actions, but does not provide equivalent direct selectors.
Proposed behavior
Add compact, keyboard-accessible selectors to the menu bar for microphone, language/language set, and transcription provider/model. Reuse existing selection services and preferences. Show the effective selection, including workflow overrides, rather than suggesting that a global default always controls the next recording.
Start with the menu bar. Any later indicator controls should use the same state and actions.
Acceptance and verification
Priority: P2. Estimated effort: medium.

Related: #1214 concerns the System Audio Recorder surface; this issue is for system-wide dictation quick selection.
