Boost quiet audio

Boost quiet audio helps Speechy hear you on your Mac when you speak softly or sit away from the mic. It raises quiet recordings to a steady level before the voice model listens, and sets what counts as speech from your room's background noise. It's on by default in Settings, Audio.
