VoiceToClipboard v2.1.0
Six offline models, automatic background-noise calibration, and a Settings panel you can always find.
🎙️ Six local offline models (all auto-language — no language setting, ever)
| Model | Languages (auto) | Download | RAM (worst-case estimate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny · FastConformer CTC | EN / DE / ES / FR | ~98 MB | ~250 MB |
| Mini · FastConformer Transducer | 10 languages (EN/DE/ES/FR/IT/PL/RU/UK/HR/BE) | ~102 MB | ~270 MB |
| Chinese + English (Light) · SenseVoice | Mandarin, English, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean | ~158 MB | ~400 MB |
| Light · Omnilingual 300M v2 ⭐ Recommended | 1600+ languages | ~279 MB | ~550 MB |
| Big · Parakeet-TDT 0.6B v3 INT8 | ~25 European languages | ~465 MB | ~950 MB |
| Chinese + English (Big) · FireRedASR2 | Mandarin + English (code-switching) | ~496 MB | ~1.1 GB |
- All six were downloaded through the real install pipeline and verified live on Windows x64.
- RAM figures include ~⅓ headroom for the transcription spike (a model that idles at ~400 MB is listed at ~550 MB).
- The Light (Omnilingual) model ships as the default — one model, 1600+ languages, ~389 MB on load.
⚡ Auto-Calibrate (background noise threshold)
- One simple test: don't talk, let the background noise play for 5 seconds (3/5/10 s selectable).
- Live volume meter appears only while the test runs, then auto-hides.
- Threshold is set from the noise percentiles + a comfortable margin, so silence never cuts you off mid-pause.
🔧 Settings you can always find
- Wake-peek pill: the settings/close pill now appears the moment your cursor touches the widget (auto-hides after ~3 s on empty space). No more hunting for Settings.
- Fixed a deadlock that could permanently hide the pill after a drag.
- Futuristic model picker: simple tier names (Tiny / Mini / Light ⭐ Recommended / Big / Chinese + English), each row shows model · download size · RAM.
- Frameless, close-only Settings window with ecoMode (loads the model only while transcribing) ON by default.
🚀 Deployment
- Portable build (
VoiceToClipboard-2.1.0-portable.zip) and NSIS installer (VoiceToClipboard-2.1.0-Setup.exe). - Installer includes
latest.yml+ blockmap for auto-update.
Gemini cloud transcription (2.5 Flash) remains available alongside the local models.
