What's new

Parakeet Ultra

  • New on-device speech model: Parakeet Ultra, a post-trained Parakeet v3 from FluidAudio. Same speed and 25 European languages, more robust on noisy audio. Pick it in Settings › General › Speech model; it downloads (~0.6 GB) on first use.
  • FluidAudio updated to 0.17.5.

Better vocabulary boosting (Parakeet)

  • Voice macro and spoken punctuation words are no longer boosted acoustically, so ordinary words stop turning into “przecinek” and similar.
  • Stricter matching: common words are no longer replaced by vocabulary terms that only look similar.
  • Replacements keep punctuation and neighbouring words, use the spelling from your vocabulary, and skip words that are already a vocabulary term.
