v1.0.0 — First standalone release
On-device voice dictation, command routing, and AI-assisted rewriting for macOS, as a standalone Swift package with no dependency on any host app.
What's included
- Local ASR via Apple's
SFSpeechRecognizer/SpeechAnalyzer, or downloadable on-device models (Whisper, Parakeet, Nemotron, Cohere Transcribe) via CoreML - Global hotkey activation — hold-to-record, toggle, or double-tap
- Command routing via a configurable wake word, and an AI-backed edit mode for rewriting selected text
- Notch/bottom overlay with live transcript and waveform
- History, stats, and custom dictionary, all local file-based persistence
This release
- Fixes a crash in every transcription provider when microphone permission isn't yet granted — all
AVAudioEngine-based providers now check authorization before touchinginputNode, surfacing a catchable error instead of a hard crash.
