Problem

The Timmy tab only offers a mic button for input. Users in quiet environments, with accessibility needs, or on devices without microphone support have no way to type a message to Timmy.

What to build

Add a toggle button (keyboard icon) next to the mic button on the Timmy tab. When toggled, replace the mic button with a TextInput field + send button. The state persists for the session (not across app restarts). Haptic feedback on toggle.

Acceptance criteria

  • User can toggle between mic and keyboard input on the Timmy tab
  • Text typed in the keyboard input and submitted calls the same sendVisitorMessage path as voice
  • Keyboard avoidance works correctly on both iOS and Android (KeyboardAvoidingView)
  • UI matches the dark theme of the rest of the app
  • Voice input is unaffected when keyboard mode is not active
