Megaphone 1.1.1
[1.1.1] - 2026-07-14
Added
- Smart Cleanup powered by Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework. Megaphone prewarms a fresh private session while recording, then removes fillers, resolves self-corrections, and improves punctuation before pasting.
- Basic Cleanup, an instant deterministic fallback that removes conservative filler and stutter patterns without a language model.
- Explicit heard-to-written corrections such as
mega phone -> Megaphone, applied to Basic Cleanup and supplied as required spellings to Smart Cleanup. - Restored on-device cleanup instructions and app-context hints, including user-defined trigger phrases and formatting preferences.
- Restored Output Language and Edit Mode using the on-device model, with safe fallbacks when Apple Intelligence is unavailable.
- Added a non-blocking Apple Intelligence readiness step for new installs and a one-time upgrade prompt when Smart Cleanup is selected but Apple Intelligence is disabled. Users can open System Settings or continue with Basic Cleanup.
Changed
- Cleanup now has Smart, Basic, and Exact modes. Smart is the default; model errors, unsupported languages, timeouts, and unavailable Apple Intelligence fall back to Basic without blocking dictation.
- Custom Vocabulary now steers SpeechAnalyzer recognition and smart cleanup spelling.
- Local cleanup context uses active-app metadata without capturing screenshots or requesting Screen Recording permission.
- Fresh setup no longer asks for obsolete Screen Recording permission.
- Run Log reports which cleanup path ran and records Smart Cleanup latency or fallback reasons.
- The Smart Cleanup prompt now preserves hedging and complete technical clauses while strictly resolving explicit self-corrections and refusing to execute dictated instructions.
Fixed
- Smart sessions are isolated per dictation and discarded on cancellation, preventing context from leaking between recordings.
- Model output is rejected when it is empty, assistant-like, or unexpectedly expands the dictated text.
- In-app updates now replace the installed bundle safely under macOS App Management, verify the expected publisher and version, preserve a validated rollback copy, and keep a durable updater log when recovery is needed.
