Hex 3.3.0

Hex 3.3.0

new

• the first run has a quiet skip on the demo and practice, and if the speech model download fails or stalls you can carry on and pick a model later
• the speech model picker compares three models side by side, then shows every model
• russian: gigaam v3, and you can add your own gigaam model files
• the interface speaks traditional chinese (繁體中文)
• shortcut mode is one choice in general, and hex only offers the modes your desktop can deliver
• each mode can have its own vocabulary
• hex explains the desktop's paste permission before the desktop asks for it
• when you set up a newer hex, an older copy that's still running quits by itself
• mac: organizations can lock features on or off with a configuration profile
• linux: apps can start and stop dictations through hex's local api, like on mac
• new in labs: skip long pauses before transcribing (faster on slow computers), stop a meeting recording 30 s after the call ends, and fix a wrong result right from output's try box

fixes

• mac: the shortcut works again after cmd+tab or cmd+q left a key looking held, after hex sat idle for a while, and when it's fn
• windows: dictation starts on mics that got stuck on "enabling…", and stream deck and other injected shortcut presses no longer get cut to nothing
• dictation no longer fails with "the current clipboard format cannot be preserved safely"
• spoken lists and numbers stay as you said them when hex cleans up your text
• clearing or deleting history sticks, even after a failed try
• if your opencode 2 is too old for hex, hex tells you to update it instead of skipping the ai rewrite without a word
• linux: hex picks up settings you edit outside the window, the status and indicator name the mic in use and warn when it goes away, and hex no longer crashes at startup on gnome + nvidia under xwayland
• kde: hex shows up in the shortcuts settings, waits for you to approve the shortcut, and asks again if you didn't. the default is ctrl+alt+space
• gnome: the dictation shortcut registers reliably
• niri and other desktops whose shortcuts portal can't bind: hex still starts listening, and hex dictation works from your own keybinding
• annotate: the pen works on hyprland and on fractional scaling, saved ink lines up, recording works on intel + nvidia laptops, and captures finish cleanly
• custom models that failed to warm up on the gpu load again
• the speech engine row no longer says the gpu stopped responding when it's fine
• meetings: the ready and recording capsules have a close button
