Changelog

• Fixes 0.2.16, which did not open on a Mac. A Mac with 0.2.16 cannot update itself: download 0.2.17 from the download page once, and updates work again from there.

Download 0.2.17: Mac · Windows · Linux

• Words appear as you say them: a live take streams to the transcription engine instead of waiting for each pause.
• No word is lost or repeated where one line ends and the next begins.
• If the app crashes or quits during a take, the transcript is finished from the audio the next time you open it.
• The microphone is open only while a take, voice activation or Check input is using it. Record never waits for sound: a silent input shows a warning, and the take keeps recording.
• The window uses your system’s own title bar, and recent projects are in File → Open Recent.
• Tidier menus in the menu bar and the tray.
• Short, quiet words such as “yes” are no longer dropped.

• Work offline: one switch stops every network call the app makes on its own. An IT team can set it for every user with a policy file.
• Updates have their own tab in Settings.
• Each transcription model has a short description in the picker, and the Parakeet models are marked experimental.
• About links to the terms, the privacy policy and the security page.

Download 0.2.15: Mac · Windows · Linux

• Import WAV, MP3 and M4A recordings, voice memos included, as takes with a transcript.
• Voice detection decides where one line ends and the next begins, so lines break where you pause.

Download 0.2.14: Mac · Windows · Linux

• Update from Settings. Turn on Update automatically, and a new version downloads in the background and installs when you quit.
• A new app icon: a lime speech bubble with a voice in it.
• Each hands-free shortcut says which keys it needs.

Download 0.2.13: Mac · Windows · Linux

• A redesigned window: your recordings, the take and the keyword library side by side, with the transport and the timecode in the top bar.

Download 0.2.12: Mac · Windows · Linux

• A Free account can sign in to the desktop app.

Download 0.2.11: Mac · Windows · Linux

• The app can update itself. Versions up to 0.2.9 could not: download this version once by hand, and later updates arrive in the app.

Download 0.2.10: Mac · Windows · Linux

• Start and stop a take by voice, with phrases you choose.
• Global keys start, stop and mark a take, even with the window hidden.
• Copy a transcript, with or without timestamps, or export it as plain text.

• At launch, the app tells you when no transcription model is ready, and offers the download.
• Check for updates from About, or turn the launch check off in Settings.
• The window opens without waiting for the transcription engine.
• A take’s keyword count stays right after its transcript changes.

• Recordings are grouped by day, and each take shows its keyword hits.
• Sign in from the account button.
• The welcome page starts with New project and Open project.
• Many small fixes to layout, tooltips and click targets.

• The Mac app is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without a warning.

• The first Mac build. It was not signed, so macOS reports it as damaged: use 0.2.6 or later.

• Fixes a crash when the installed app started.

• No more trial: Free does not expire, and a Free take can be up to five minutes long.
• The download page always links the current release.

• The first release: record, transcribe on your own computer with no network, mark keywords, correct lines and export. Pro removes the Free limits.
