Closetalk 1.3

What's new

• Pick your dictation key during setup. Any key or combo works, like fn or ⌃⌥Space. If you're updating, you keep right ⌘. Change it any time with Change dictation key… in the menu.
• Try Closetalk in about 30 seconds. On a first launch, a small sample model is ready right away while the full model downloads. It's less accurate, so setup tells you when the full model takes over.
• Clearer setup. Each step checks off once it's done, and the window comes back after you grant a permission in System Settings.

Fixes

• Changing the dictation key no longer crashes when you press a letter or Space.
• Turning on the microphone in System Settings after clicking Don't Allow now works without restarting.

Full changelog: v1.2...v1.3

Closetalk 1.2

What's new

• Pick your own dictation shortcut. Change shortcut… in the menu records any key or combo to hold, like fn, right ⌥ or ⌃⌥Space. Right ⌘ is still the default.
• A setup window on first launch. It walks through the microphone and Accessibility permissions, shows how long the one-time model setup has left, and lets you try a dictation before you start.

Closetalk 1.1 offers this update on its own. You can also choose Check for Updates in the menu.
