Release Murmur v1.2.2 · Roach9223/Murmur

Fully local Windows dictation — press F1, talk, it types. No Python, no dependencies, no cloud.

Install

Download Murmur-release.zip below and extract it to a user-writable folder (not Program Files)
Run Murmur.exe — first run downloads a Whisper model into models/
Press F1, talk, pause — it types into whatever window is focused

SmartScreen: the exe is not code-signed yet — click More info → Run anyway.

Transcriptions can no longer be lost: a failed save (bad filename, disk issue) keeps the transcription and shows why; filenames are sanitized; existing transcripts are never silently overwritten
File transcription no longer locks the app: hide the progress popup and keep working; a live progress button brings it back
Mic calibration is honest: refuses to "succeed" if you didn't speak, stops dictation first (no more typing the calibration sentence into your editor), and can be cancelled
New controls: Pre/Post-DSP record source selector, one-click MP3 export for recordings, tooltips on every audio control
Smoother: DSP sliders no longer spam the engine while dragging, meters stay live with the gate off, recording failures (disk full) are reported instead of freezing the timer, Diagnostics shown by default

1.2.1: Whisper model picker + hardware auto-detect (AMD/CPU machines get a fast model automatically)
1.2.0: Raw mode default (no LLM required), redesigned UI, self-contained ~1GB download
