QuietSpeech 0.3.7

Latest
  • Choose and remember a microphone in setup or Settings → Transcription. Reconnect a missing microphone or select another input before dictating.
  • Check your microphone with a live input meter and a 15-second test that saves no audio.
  • Automatically pause media while dictating and resume it after transcription finishes, when it was playing beforehand.
  • See a dot on the menu bar icon when an update is available, with Install New Update as the first menu option.
  • Fix the listening overlay intermittently disappearing when starting dictations in quick succession.
  • Improve shortcut recovery when macOS interrupts keyboard access, with a Restore Shortcuts option.

QuietSpeech 0.3.6

  • The listening overlay now shows in Notes, TextEdit and other apps, including apps in full-screen Spaces.

QuietSpeech 0.3.5

  • Command-Tab app switching works again when Fn+Command is your Tap to Toggle shortcut.
  • Other Command shortcuts keep working while you hold a dictation key.
  • Fn+Command starts dictation whichever key you press first.

QuietSpeech 0.3.4

  • Tap to Toggle can now be a double-tap of your Hold to Talk key, or its own shortcut. Double-tap to start hands-free dictation, then tap once to stop.
  • Shortcuts that use modifier keys now save correctly, and picking a function key is easier.
  • Fixed freezes when dictation started, caused by macOS spell-checking.
  • Dictation no longer starts twice, and the microphone no longer turns on late after you let go of the shortcut.

QuietSpeech 0.3.3

  • When a quick “at Priya” is heard as “add Priya”, QuietSpeech still types @Priya. A sentence like “Add Priya to the channel” stays as you said it.

QuietSpeech 0.3.2

  • Say “at” before a name in a chat app, and QuietSpeech types it as an @mention, so “at Priya” becomes @Priya.

QuietSpeech 0.3.1

  • A quick tap of Fn no longer opens the overlay. Hold the key to start dictating.
  • Settings opens with the full sidebar the first time you launch it.
  • The menu bar icon now matches the size of the system icons.

QuietSpeech 0.3

  • Settings and the dictation overlay have a new Liquid Glass design.
  • The overlay shows one clear status at a time: a waveform while it listens, then progress, done or a warning.
  • QuietSpeech appears in the Dock and app switcher while one of its windows is open.

QuietSpeech 0.2

  • QuietSpeech picks up names and terms from the window you're dictating into, so it spells them correctly.
  • When you correct a word right after dictating, QuietSpeech learns the fix for next time.
  • AI cleanup was reworked. On 224 test dictations, its edits passed QuietSpeech's quality check 99% of the time, up from 76%.

QuietSpeech 0.1

  • First public release. Hold a key, speak, and QuietSpeech types your words into the Mac app you're using. Speech is transcribed on your Mac.
  • AI cleanup leaves short dictations as they are, and it edits your words instead of replying to them.
  • Dictation works in code editors such as VS Code and Cursor, and saying “dash dash” types --.
  • Generate fills in your name instead of leaving “[Your Name]”.
