Removed three filler words from the transcription filter that are actual words in European languages: - 'um' - Portuguese/Spanish indefinite article meaning 'a/an' (masculine) Example: Portuguese 'Isto é um teste' (This is a test) Removing this was breaking Portuguese transcriptions - 'ha' - Spanish/Italian/Norwegian/Swedish auxiliary verb meaning 'has/have' Example: Spanish 'Él ha comido' (He has eaten) This is a very common verb form in Romance and Scandinavian languages - 'eh' - Italian interjection and Canadian English discourse marker While less critical, this can appear in legitimate Italian speech The remaining filler words are primarily English vocalized hesitations that don't conflict with common words in other European languages. Updated tests to use 'uhm' instead of 'um' where needed. Fixes #941

custom_filler_wordssetting for users who want to override the defaults (set to[]to disable filtering entirely)Addresses the concerns raised in #943. Don't just remove filler words that conflict with European languages (which regresses English), this takes the language-aware approach discussed in that thread.
Known limitation:
custom_filler_wordsis a power-user setting with no UI. It can only be changed by editing settings_store.json directly. Changes tocustom_filler_wordsfield require an app restart to take effectThe setting has three states:
The filler word list is selected based on the app language setting (the UI language), not the transcription language. For unknown or unsupported languages, a conservative fallback list is used that avoids removing ambiguous words like "um", "eh", and "ha".
