Improve the UX to know which mode is currently used

In the latest version (v1.2.1), there is no way currently to know which mode is used when speaking or clicking the menu bar icon.

I'm guessing that the current mode is the one that's highlighted when you go to the settings, but the way the component is shown can be confusing and looks like a tab selector.

I think it would be best if it was either a checkbox, a radio component, or something else that would be clearer.

Maybe add a bit of color? like in the “audio settings” section we can see on screen, there’s this “trim silence” item: you can see the toggle which clearly has a color difference with non-toggled components.

Another way this could be switched would be in the menu bar icon. Maybe clicking on it could display different options to select the different modes, because sometimes you might want to easily switch between “fast”, “balanced”, and “best”.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense. I'll be glad to answer any questions!
