FreeDictate 1.0.1

Patch release. No change to how dictation works: hold Ctrl+Win, speak, release, text pastes at the cursor.

Fixes

  • -Audit only looked at the HKCU Run key, so a machine that starts FreeDictate through Task Scheduler reported "Not installed. No autostart entry." even though it was starting fine. That false alarm could lead someone to add a second autostart entry. The audit now reports all three places autostart can live: the Run key, a FreeDictate scheduled task, and a Startup folder shortcut.
  • -Install no longer adds the Run key when a scheduled task or Startup shortcut already starts the app. Two mechanisms mean two copies of the app, and every take pastes twice.

Run -Audit first if you want to check without changing anything.

Upgrade

Download freedictate.zip over your existing folder, or run the one-liner again. Existing settings, transcripts, and autostart are preserved.
