Transcription you can trust. Silence and room noise no longer turn into invented words, and Whisper can no longer loop.

  • Speech detection first (Silero VAD, 2 MB, downloaded once like the Whisper model): only the parts where you speak are transcribed. Pauses and background noise that used to become "¡Adiós!", "Gracias." or "Thank you." now give nothing.
  • No repetition loops: output is limited by the audio's length, repeated phrases are kept once, and words with impossible times are dropped. When a stretch had to be dropped, the spec and the popup say where.
  • Word accuracy on normal speech is unchanged, and long recordings transcribe a little faster.
  • Locked dependencies: the CLI ships an npm-shrinkwrap.json, and the Claude Code / Codex plugin and the Gemini CLI extension start exactly pointcast@0.2.1.

Update: the extension from pointcast-0.2.1-chrome.zip below (replace the folder's contents and press reload on the extension card; the id stays the same since 0.2.0), and claude plugin marketplace update pointcast for the plugin. Checksums in SHA256SUMS.txt. Changes: CHANGELOG.
