Hold a key, speak, release. The text lands at your cursor. Nothing leaves the
machine.

A pass over the words utt uses.

It says things you can act on

When a transcription failed, utt used to hand you the error its speech library
raised — a sentence with a number in it and no way forward. It now says what
happened and what to do about it. The same goes for a model that will not load,
and for the menu bar when setup is not finished: it points you at the window
where the buttons are instead of listing what macOS calls its permissions.

Elsewhere the wording just stopped describing the machinery. Setup no longer
says it is "compiling". A microphone you have unplugged is named, not reduced to
an identifier. The Text tab's rule tester is called Try it out, and its two
fields say what you say and what utt types.

Updates check on their own now

utt was only looking for a new version when you asked it to. The daily check now
starts with the app, which is what it said on the tin in 0.5.0.

Updates also carry their approval from Apple with them, so installing one works
the same on a network that cannot reach Apple as on one that can.
