ChatterKey v0.3.0 — Live Transcription & Magic Voice Edit

ChatterKey v0.3.0

This release makes voice typing feel immediate and adds spoken editing for text that already exists.

Added

• Live Transcription: see an on-device rough transcript inside the floating ChatterKey pill while speaking.
• Magic Voice Edit: select text, hold the shortcut, and speak an instruction to rewrite, shorten, translate, or reformat it in place.
• Live Preview Controls: enable or disable live transcription from Settings.
• Speech Recognition Setup: permission status and diagnostics are now included in onboarding and Settings.

Improved

• The compact waveform smoothly expands into a live transcript pill and returns to the small completion state after insertion.
• Selected text is detected through macOS Accessibility without reading secure text fields.
• Privacy documentation now explains selected-text processing and the optional on-device preview.

Fixed

• Fixed real-time audio callback isolation crashes when push-to-talk started.
• Fixed Speech Recognition authorization and partial-result callback crashes.
