Speakeasy 0.3.3
Release notes
Speakeasy 0.3.3 removes standalone English “um” and “uh” locally before inserting dictation.
- Remove um / uh is enabled by default. Turn it off in Settings for literal transcription or
non-English Parakeet dictation. Saving this preference keeps the model loaded. - Both speech engines share a linear cleanup pass with at most one output allocation. Cleanup
handles case and pause punctuation, preserves compounds and individually quoted tokens, and sends
nothing for filler-only recognition. - Whisper removes fillers only with its language set to English. Automatic and other language
requests preserve literal words. Parakeet detects languages automatically; its cleanup switch
expresses your English dictation preference.
Existing settings, engines, models, and dictation gestures are preserved. Recordings retain the
five-minute limit. Audio and recognition stay local, with no transcript history or uploads.
Windows x64 and Apple silicon macOS zip packages, plus experimental Linux x86_64 AppImage and
bundled tar packages, are attached with SHA-256 checksums. CI verifies all three platforms and runs
owned-window rendering checks. Live microphone, keyboard-hook, clipboard/editor, and compositor
acceptance remain separate; see architecture and performance.
