SayType 1.1.6

• Fixed SayType turning listening on and off every few seconds with "Pause while other audio plays"
  on. It counted its own audio as other audio playing; it now only pauses for sound from other apps.

Install: brew install --cask frugoman/tap/saytype, or download SayType.dmg below, open it and drag SayType to Applications.

SayType 1.1.5

• The menu-bar popover no longer resizes or jumps while you talk. Every part of it now has a fixed
  height, and each release checks that the menu is the same height in every state.

Install: brew install --cask frugoman/tap/saytype, or download SayType.dmg below, open it and drag SayType to Applications.

SayType 1.1.4

• The floating mic badge and the menu now always show the real state. A short noise (a cough, a click)
  used to leave SayType showing "hearing" even after the microphone had turned off. When it's paused,
  the badge says why (push-to-talk mode, audio playing, a meeting being recorded).
• Voice commands are harder to trigger by accident: "scratch that" at the start of a sentence and
  "delete that" in the middle of one are typed as words, and "enter", "return" and "undo" only count
  when said on their own.
• "Scratch that" never deletes text SayType didn't type, and there's no stray space after a new line
  or after pressing Enter.
• Your clipboard is restored correctly after dictations that paste more than once, and after reading
  the selection aloud (images and files included).
• Numbers in brackets, like a phone number's area code, are no longer removed.
• Voice-edit instructions are never typed into your document.
• Pressing push-to-talk twice quickly no longer mixes two recordings.
• Read aloud: a second request while speaking no longer turns the mic back on mid-sentence.
• Meetings: starting twice quickly can't crash, and the microphone keeps recording when the audio
  device changes. Local speech servers get real timestamps and enough time for long files.
• Two actions with the same shortcut are flagged in Settings.
• Lower CPU use: the menu no longer redraws constantly.

Install: brew install --cask frugoman/tap/saytype, or download SayType.dmg below, open it and drag SayType to Applications.

SayType 1.1.3

• Fixed the menu-bar popover wobbling: its background no longer animates (it kept re-laying out the
  popover). The drifting shapes in the other windows are also lighter on the CPU.

Install: brew install --cask frugoman/tap/saytype, or download SayType.dmg below, open it and drag SayType to Applications.
Signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. macOS 14 or later.

SayType 1.1.2

• Fixed a crash when the microphone started while the input device was changing (switching
  headsets or inputs, or listening turning on and off as music plays).

Install: brew install --cask frugoman/tap/saytype, or download SayType.dmg below, open it and drag SayType to Applications.
Signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. macOS 14 or later.

SayType 1.1.1

• Fixed the menu-bar popover flickering open and closed (the mic badge window no longer animates).
• History keeps only the most recent items: 10 by default, configurable in Settings → History.
  Lowering the number deletes the older items.

Install: brew install --cask frugoman/tap/saytype, or download SayType.dmg below, open it and drag SayType to Applications.

SayType 1.1.0

• Listening modes: hands-free (the default, as before), push-to-talk (hold ⌃⌥Space and release
  to type) and toggle (press to start, press to stop). A small on-screen recording pill and
  optional start and stop sounds.
• Transcript history: a searchable list in Settings → History. Copy an item or type it again.
  Stored only on this Mac, can be turned off or cleared. The menu bar shows recent items.
• Voice commands: "new line", "new paragraph", "scratch that", "undo that", "select all",
  "press enter", plus optional spoken punctuation ("comma", "question mark", "open paren").
• Snippets: say a phrase and a saved block of text is typed. Placeholders: {date}, {time},
  {clipboard}.
• Per-app profiles: pause length, language, tone (casual, professional, code, literal), removing
  the trailing period, and extra vocabulary for each app. Suggested profiles for Slack, Mail,
  Terminal, Xcode, VS Code, Messages and more.
• Local AI cleanup (off by default): removes filler words, fixes punctuation, optional polish
  and translation. Uses Apple's on-device model (macOS 26 or later) or any local
  OpenAI-compatible server (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, mlx_lm.server). Nothing leaves the Mac.
• Voice-edit: select text, press ⌃⌥E and say what to change ("make this shorter", "translate to
  Spanish", "fix the grammar"). Needs the AI backend.
• About 30 languages. "Translate to English" (Whisper) and "Output language" (AI backend). The
  Parakeet v3 engine (25 European languages, very fast) joins Whisper.
• File and meeting transcription: "Transcribe a file…" (any audio or video; export .txt, .srt,
  .vtt, .md) and "Record a meeting" (system audio and microphone, labelled You and Others,
  optional AI summary with action items). Meetings need the Screen & System Audio Recording
  permission.
• Automation: the saytype command-line tool (installed by the Homebrew cask), the saytype://
  URL scheme, Shortcuts actions and Raycast script commands. See integrations/.
• Rename the command: Settings → Automation lets you call the command-line tool anything you like
  (alfred toggle instead of saytype toggle).
• A mic badge that follows the text cursor and shows what SayType is really doing, with a live
  level. It turns orange if the microphone stops delivering audio.
• A new look: pastel and playful, with a colour-coded sidebar, animations, a "Saved" indicator,
  and an Appearance pane (palettes, accent colours, light and dark, corners, spacing, font).
• Fixes: the microphone restarts after an audio device change or sleep; voice commands ignore
  fillers like "uh"; language lists only show languages the chosen engine or AI model supports.

  Homebrew.
