Hex 3.1.0

Requirements

  • On Windows and Linux x64, Hex now needs a 2013 or newer processor with AVX2
    (Intel Haswell / AMD Excavator or later). On an older processor Hex shows a
    message and quits instead of crashing.

Fixes

  • Windows: the recording indicator appears reliably, and says why when it
    can't. Laptops with both an integrated and a dedicated GPU no longer crash
    at launch, and transcription survives a GPU that crashes.
  • Windows: paste works in more apps, including VS Code's terminal.
  • Meetings: starting, saving and deleting recordings, and the error banner,
    are fixed.
  • Annotate captures the screen and draws correctly again.
  • Linux: global shortcuts work on GNOME and KDE Wayland, including changing
    and cancelling them, and Hex's icon shows everywhere.
  • The recording indicator follows you: it appears on the monitor under the
    pointer.
  • Hex only talks to an OpenCode that's already running and no longer starts
    one itself.
  • Fixed a crash at startup on some Windows and Linux PCs (the CPU fix above).
  • Dictation with a Bluetooth microphone, double-tap on X11, and punctuation at
    the end of a dictation are fixed.

New

  • QwenCleo-ASR 1.7B for Egyptian Arabic.
  • Recognition hints now apply to Qwen3-ASR models, and hints are merged into
    Vocabulary, so there's one list of names and terms.
  • Meetings can be kept for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or forever.
  • New Labs toggles, each off until you turn it on: free the speech model's
    memory when unused, spoken formatting ("new line", "new paragraph",
    quotes), remove filler words, and Restore default for the Paste last
    dictation shortcut. On macOS also: keep the dictation on the clipboard,
    copy instead of paste, a second dictation shortcut, smart spacing, and
    subtitle export for meetings.

Moved to Labs (now off until you turn them on)

Turn these back on in Settings › Labs:

  • macOS: mouse buttons as shortcuts.
  • Switching the speech model with the keyboard language.
  • macOS: pausing the browser along with other media while dictating.
  • Windows: letting apps such as Discord see the dictation shortcut too.
