A new layout. The sidebar is now Home, History and Words, then Settings: Hotkeys, Speech, Cleanup, AI provider, Privacy and General. Each setting lives in one place.

  • Home has the practice box, your last dictation and how long it took. History is its own page, with search, Fix and how often you left a dictation as typed.
  • Privacy gathers everything Utter keeps or reads, with a plain summary of what leaves your Mac for your settings.
  • AI provider is where you pick the provider, key and model. Cleanup and rewrite both use it.
  • General has appearance and the permissions, and two new settings: Open at login, and a microphone picker for when you don't want the system default.
  • The Settings group folds away, and stays folded until you open it again.

fn is the default hotkey. Hold fn to talk, double-tap it for hands-free. A hotkey you already picked is kept.

More accurate.

  • New installs start on the Small speech model, which hears names and jargon far better than Base.
  • Each piece of a long dictation is heard with what came before, so a pause no longer splits a sentence. Accurate (the default) tidies the whole thing once you let go; Quick tidies as you talk.
  • Cleanup keeps every point you made and your tone, and falls back to your exact words if it would drop something.
  • Wind, fans and silence no longer turn into words. A short "Thanks." or a whisper still comes through.
  • About 140 tech names (TypeScript, Kubernetes, Postgres…) are spelled right out of the box.
  • Send nearby text to cleanup (off by default) lets cleanup fix a misheard word from what you're writing about.

Rewrite says each thing once. It regroups a rambling dictation by topic and never opens with a remark about its job.
