Hall-e 0.2.1 — Your keys, your assistant
Hall-e now walks you through connecting your own transcription account on first launch. No Hall-e login, shared keys, or developer credits are included.
- Open Deepgram or Speechmatics signup directly from setup.
- Follow the linked API-key guide, return to Hall-e, and press Paste → Save.
- Choose Speechmatics processing region and confirm its training setting where applicable, then allow transcription.
- Follow the configuration checklist and make a short recording to check your key and credit.
- Start with one provider; add both for Automatic credit-exhaustion fallback. Eligible trial credit helps you get started; availability, expiry, and model access depend on your account.
Keys stay in the user's macOS Keychain. Hall-e reads the clipboard only after an explicit Paste action. Your provider account and billing remain under your control.
Download: arm64 for Apple silicon; x86_64 for Intel. Unzip, drag Hall-e.app into Applications, and open it. Requires macOS 14+ (14.2+ for capture of other apps' audio). These ad-hoc signed packages are not Apple-notarized; see the installation instructions.
Validation: 194 tests; both architectures are built and checked for fresh-profile installation on macOS 15. Guided setup was visually reviewed in an isolated app preview. Real-call permissions and macOS 14 runtime behavior still require manual validation.
Made with cariño in Chile. 🇨🇱 Star Hall-e if it helps you. Coffee destination coming later. ☕
