No NVIDIA GPU? Transcription falls back to CPU automatically (slower, but works).
What's new
- Works out of the box: Raw mode is now the default — no LM Studio or local LLM required. Clean/Prompt/Dev/Detailed modes light up if you run one.
- Redesigned UI: one-click mode pills, profile + mic pickers on the main surface, "Heard/Typed" output front and center, collapsible sections for DSP/recording/diagnostics. The spectrum analyzer and VU meter stay full width.
- Reliability: CPU fallback without an NVIDIA GPU, no more orphaned engine processes, engine-crash errors surfaced in the UI, no UI freezes on slow operations, non-ASCII install paths supported, and a long list of engine fixes from a full pre-release audit.
- Self-contained ~1GB download: Python runtime, CUDA/cuDNN, and the C++ runtime are all bundled.
