VectorDash 0.3.12 adds voice dictation, clipboard history and AI tools while fixing excessive CPU use in the system tray.

New features

  • Optional local English dictation with NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v2: CPU/CUDA, fp16/8-bit, microphone selection, live waveform and automatic speech-end detection. Loads on microphone activation; unload immediately or after an idle interval.
  • Soft microphone activation sound and a smooth glowing red recording border.
  • Offline emoji grid and optional protected clipboard history for text, links and images, with timestamps, previews and expiry. Optional semantic search for copied images.
  • OpenAI-compatible AI chat with model selection, Markdown, follow-ups, cancellation and Ctrl+C answer copying. Vision models can receive monitor/window screenshots or directly selected screen areas.
  • Remembered window positions, improved filters and saved-search layout, and clearer model status with RAM/VRAM, disk usage and install/uninstall controls.

Fixes and improvements

  • Fixed continuous repainting in tray mode, cutting measured idle CPU use by 99.8% in a development test.
  • Preserved existing global shortcuts across updates; added registration recovery. New installations default to Ctrl+Alt+Space for quick search and Ctrl+Shift+D for dictation.
  • Tab / Shift+Tab cycle Search, Clipboard and AI. Renamed Both to Hybrid.
  • Improved targeted file-change indexing, pause/cancel handling and full-screen detection.
  • Fixed managed model removal, including legacy downloads and Windows short-name user paths.

Downloads

Use the setup EXE to install or upgrade, or the portable ZIP. Optional models download separately. Windows 11 x64 is required. The installer is unsigned, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning.

Validation: 93 automated tests passed, plus real CPU/CUDA dictation, process reuse and unload checks. SHA-256 checksums are included below. See the updated README for model sizes and usage.
