v9.0

Diction App

• Cloud transcription is about twice as fast end to end, so text lands in your app almost as soon as you stop speaking.
• An emoji picker is built into the keyboard, with search and skin tone variants.
• The QWERTY spacebar row now has a period key.
• Pause and resume mid-dictation.
• Hold space and slide to move the cursor like a trackpad.
• The mic releases the instant your phone rings.
• Diction mode is now equally reliable online or offline.
• Choose what music does while you dictate: keep playing, duck, or pause.

Gateway

• Extended the error-event schema to accept iOS crash telemetry from the app and keyboard (ios_app, ios_keyboard sources). Additive fields only — no breaking changes for existing self-hosters.
