This release fixes three things that did not work, two of which we only found out about now.
- Dictation actually recognises speech. Every build since 0.5.1 shipped a stub in place of the recogniser by mistake: it recorded audio and typed a line like
[stub] captured 4.5s, peak amplitude 0.044into your document. If you tried dictation and concluded it was broken, you were right, and it was not your microphone. Real recognition now runs, locally and offline. Ctrl+Alt+Tturns on Translit Mode. The shortcut was in the hotkey sheet, in the settings and on the website, and was never registered with the system — the mode was reachable only from the tray menu.- The app starts on a clean Windows. On a machine that had never had the Visual C++ components, the installer finished successfully and the engine then died silently at startup. Those libraries now ship with it.
Translit Mode also got considerably smarter: it no longer mixes in candidates from other languages, and transliteration and spell-checking finally work together — panedelnik becomes понедельник rather than панеделник. Hebrew moved to a deterministic table: slower to learn new words, but it can no longer return a word mixing three alphabets.
In the tray, the Voice and AI assistant rows now show which provider they will use, and both have an entry that opens their settings. In the console, voice and the AI assistant each got their own tab.
To update: the console will offer the update itself, or download the installer from the site. It installs over your current copy — settings, dictionaries and licence are kept.
