v0.6.22 - Transcribe from Anywhere
New
- Paste (almost) any link — X, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, and any other site yt-dlp supports. The card recognizes the platform and shows its mark as you paste. (#466)
- Podcasts — Apple Podcasts links resolve straight to the episode audio via iTunes; from the CLI,
transcribe --podcast "Lex Fridman episode 400"does a freetext search. (#463) - New engine: Nemotron 3.5 (Beta) — an opt-in fast multilingual on-device engine, alongside Parakeet and Whisper. Pick it under Settings → Speech Recognition (one-time model download). (#464)
- Instant dictation (opt-in) — keeps the mic warm so dictation starts instantly and doesn't clip your first words. Off by default; macOS shows the mic indicator while it's on. (#414)
Improved
- Timed view for raw transcripts — see word-level timing even without clean processing. (#458)
- Transform shortcuts moved to ⌃⌥1 / ⌃⌥2 / ⌃⌥3 — Control-Option avoids the Option+digit special-character conflict for Polish, Distill, and Decide. (#453)
- Feedback diagnostics — the optional bug-report capture log is now more focused and still contains only device state and counters — no audio, no transcript text. (#451)
