Lecture notes now wait for natural pauses, with a 60-second maximum and audio overlap at forced cuts. The update fixes audio packet ordering and removes the server wrapping that split words into separate lines.

Changes

  • Preserve two seconds of audio across forced cuts and complete boundary words on the next request.
  • Group the reading view and copied text into paragraphs, keeping subtitle timing separate.
  • Show note language and Keep audio beside New note, with a first-use language reminder.
  • Reveal retained recordings in Finder and offer optional subject vocabulary in Settings.
  • Move disk writes off the capture worker and preserve capture, save and transcription warnings in completed notes.
  • Keep legitimate repeated sentences and exclude finishing time from recording duration.

Turbo Q5 remains the default. Dictation, file imports, YouTube videos and playlists remain available. Transcription runs locally.

Validation

49 automated tests passed. The two opt-in inference tests skip during the normal suite and were run separately, including silent real-time capture replay, retention-off replay and a complete 58-minute lecture replay. The release app, disk image and nested signatures were checked. See test methods and recognition limits.

Install

Apple Silicon, macOS 14 or later. Download the DMG, quit the old version, and copy WhisperDrop 2.app into Applications, replacing the previous copy. Models, notes and settings are stored outside the app and survive replacement.

This release has a local code signature and is not notarized. Gatekeeper may show "Apple cannot check the app for malicious software" after a browser download. That is a verification warning; Apple uses a different alert for detected malware. If you choose to trust this build, try opening it once and follow Apple's Open Anyway instructions in System Settings, Privacy & Security. A local signature cannot guarantee warning-free installation on other Macs.

SHA256SUMS.txt contains the disk-image checksum. Runtime license notices are in the app and repository.
