Kōrero v1.25.0 — Safety, Accessibility & Transcription Fixes

Highlights

• Delete confirmations across History, Notes, Meetings and the recordings recovery list — no more single-click, irreversible data loss.
• Keyboard-accessible dropdowns — full arrow/Home/End navigation, Escape-to-close, and proper ARIA roles throughout the settings UI.
• Live progress feedback during meeting transcription and post-processing, with screen-reader-friendly status announcements.
• One audio at a time — starting playback anywhere in the app now pauses any other audio already playing.
• Faster empty-dictation handling — skips post-processing entirely when there's nothing to clean up.

Also in this release

• Fixed a transcription repetition bug where meeting imports could produce runaway word/phrase loops (e.g. "project, project, project…") on certain audio. A new n-gram run-collapse guard catches these at any granularity while leaving natural repeated speech ("no, no, no") untouched.
• Configurable recording & export paths — meetings can now be saved to a custom folder (Save-As dialog on every export, defaulting to Documents), with a one-off option to move existing recordings when you change folders.

Notes

No prior tagged build (v1.17.1–v1.24.0) was ever published publicly — they sat as GitHub drafts. This is effectively Kōrero's first public release. If you're running an older installed build, grab the installer below; auto-update will pick this release up from here on.
