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.
