What's new in beta.4

Accessibility — from our first blind tester's feedback:

• VoiceOver-gentle dictation: when VoiceOver is running, Scribe no longer types text in per-utterance bursts (which made VoiceOver talk over itself). Your full transcript is inserted once at the end of the session, with a polite announcement.
• Fixed status announcements that never actually reached assistive technology.

Language awareness:

• New setup-wizard step tells you up front which 25 languages the speech model understands, and warns if your Mac's language (for example Arabic or Japanese) is not supported yet — instead of failing silently.

Polish:

• The installer window is now properly branded.
• Acknowledgements for the open-source components and models Scribe stands on are linked from the About window.
