Quality-of-life update based on first user feedback.

Fixed

  • Clear error messages when the AI backend isn't ready. Previously, dictating before pulling the model showed a cryptic Client error '404 Not Found' for url 'http://localhost:11434/api/chat'. Larkyn now tells you exactly what to do:
    • Model not installed → "The AI model 'gemma4:e2b-it-qat' isn't installed in Ollama. Open a terminal and run: ollama pull gemma4:e2b-it-qat"
    • Ollama not running → "Ollama doesn't appear to be running. Start Ollama, then dictate again."
    • Timeouts and other backend errors now show concise, actionable text.

Install

  1. Install Ollama (v0.30.7+) and pull the model: ollama pull gemma4:e2b-it-qat
  2. Run LarkynSetup.exe (no admin required) — upgrading from 0.2.0 installs in place, settings and history are kept
  3. First dictation downloads the Whisper speech model (~1.6 GB, one time)

Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt. The installer is not code-signed yet; if SmartScreen warns, choose More info → Run anyway.
