Dictate 3.0

Dictate 3.0 is the release where the whole app grew into its design — every surface was rebuilt against one visual system, and the product now does four things, all on your Mac.

A meeting library, not just transcripts. Every recording gets a title and a one-line summary written by a local model, a clickable outline of the moments that mattered (two levels for ordinary meetings, three past forty minutes), per-voice speaking time with inline rename, tags, stars, and the platform the call ran on. Search covers every spoken word, title, summary and outline line.

Ask — an optional agent over your archive. Connect Claude or ChatGPT with your own API key and ask questions across everything you've recorded; the agent lists, searches and reads your transcripts itself, and every answer names the meetings it drew from. Off by default, and the only feature that ever talks to a server — the recordings never leave your Mac.

Titles and summaries in the meeting's own language. A Russian meeting gets a Russian summary; the earlier English-always behavior is gone.

A calmer, designed surface everywhere. One design system across the meetings window, dictation overlay, recording pill, menu bar and onboarding; light and dark themes with a hand-tuned dark palette; adjustable transcript text size; resizable and collapsible panels; a rebuilt onboarding that walks the model download, keys and permissions honestly.

Quality under the hood. A second voice that is really a fragment of the first now merges back into it; a call channel's language is pinned once it is stable, so bilingual calls stop flip-flopping; the recording HUD levels breathe instead of twitching.
