MacParakeet 0.8.5
MacParakeet 0.8.5
The Transcribe tile could stay on Wrapping up after you stopped a meeting. That was a status label only — the recording was already saved. Capture and transcription were not stuck. 0.8.5 clears the label.
Fix
- Wrapping up was only a label. After stop, the tile could keep saying Wrapping up even though mix, queue, and transcription had finished. Cosmetic. The tile now moves on to Transcribing, then idle. #1079 #1082
Also in this build
- Start meetings muted. Begin recording with your microphone off, then unmute from the live meeting panel. System-audio-only capture ignores it. Off by default. #1054
- Clean drops English “um”. Dictation and file transcripts strip standalone
umalong withuh,umm, anduhh. Portuguese and German: turn off Also remove “um” in Vocabulary. Meetings are not cleaned. #1053 - Preserve discarded dictations. Optional. Cancelled dictations can stay in History, marked Cancelled. Nothing is pasted, including Paste Last. Needs Save dictation history. Off by default. #1057
