Dedicated number row #68

Issue #19 asked for more area to add numbers however, the addition of the top row really only allows four characters before infringing on the left right characters, only a total of twenty characters fit before crushing the microphone, unless you make the keyboard really big.

Since number recognition is an issue all it's own it seems that a dedicated number row solves the problem completely, while allowing plenty of room for punctuation characters.

As a side note. I'm curious why not integrate sayboard directly into a keyboard like HeliBoard where the keyboard would always be available and sayboard would only be the microphone — pulsing when active. 🤷‍♂️ hey, I'm not a developer but as a user I always wonder why can't these voice to text apps just run as an overlay in a small area on top of the main keyboard? 🤷‍♂️

Anyways, I'm really liking the current update! It's now very functional with the keyboard! Great work!

Edit: sorry i forgot to list this as a feature request. I'm not sure how to change it now.

It takes some fiddling but a lot can be shoved into a small space 😂 though a dedicated number row seems sensible when considering numbers in general. And there's a lot of empty space on the bottom there 🤔
