Chalant 1.41.0
Your words land sooner, because the careful ear stops reading a list it does
not need.
Names are handed over only when you might have said one
Chalant knows your vocabulary: the names you typed in, and the ones it has
learned from your corrections. Before the careful ear listens, it reads that
list, so it can spell Kizu and Capgemini the way you mean them.
It was reading the whole list on every sentence, whether or not a name was in
it. "My FNOPD just started" was arriving with sixteen names attached. Reading
them is not free: each one is a fraction of a second of the pause before your
words appear, and that pause sits between you and the screen.
Now the list is chosen by what you actually said. Names that sound like nothing
in the sentence stay home. On ordinary speech that is about four tenths of a
second off every sentence.
Nothing about your names got looser. Every name that was being rescued before
is still rescued: "send the challenge build" still becomes "send the Chalant
build", "Keeju" still becomes "Kizu". That was checked against your own
recordings rather than assumed, and the list is only trimmed to the point where
nothing was lost.
A name that arrives in two pieces
The first ear writes Capgemini as two words, "cap Gemini". Chalant already knew
how to put a split name back together, but it was skipping any pair where one
half was very short, and "cap" is three letters. So the two halves were never
joined, and a name that matches perfectly was never offered to either ear.
Overleaf, Capgemini and anything else your first ear breaks in two now find
their way back.
Still true
The careful ear still settles the sentence with the first one before anything
is typed, and still cannot invent a word, overrule a confident hearing, change
a number or touch a name you have taught it.
