Sotto 3.0.0 renames the app (formerly TalkType) and gives it a new visual identity. Dictation behavior is unchanged: private, local, offline-first.

Highlights

  • New name: Sotto. From sotto voce — "under the voice." The name now matches what the app is for: speaking quietly to your own computer, with nothing leaving it.
  • New icon. A text caret with a sound wave, drawn in the app's violet palette, with crisp sizes for the taskbar, tray, and installer. Icon sources now live in the repo as SVG masters with a generation script.
  • Automatic data migration. On first launch, Sotto carries over your TalkType settings, dictation history, widget placement, and downloaded models into its new profile folder.
  • Consistent internals. Application ID, IPC channels, and resource protocols were renamed for a clean identity going forward.

Install

Download and run Sotto-Setup-3.0.0.exe. The Balanced speech model is bundled and works offline.

Because the application identity changed, Sotto installs alongside an existing TalkType installation instead of upgrading it. After confirming Sotto works (your data migrates automatically on first launch), uninstall TalkType from Windows Settings > Apps.

This build is not Authenticode-signed, so Windows may display an Unknown publisher or SmartScreen warning.

Verification

  • 1,051 unit and integration tests passed; 4 environment-gated tests were intentionally skipped.
  • TypeScript typecheck and ESLint passed.
  • Packaged model, runtime, resources, and installer contents were verified, including a packaged smoke launch.
  • Installer SHA-256: 5076E7C9B21CC54FC05158F3A6BE01BCE78F03CA864BAF3F4E1EFBBB2F4A813F
