Windows 1.9.0

Highlights

• August 2026 model refresh: OpenAI gpt-transcribe and gpt-live-transcribe, AssemblyAI Universal-3.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite, Grok 4.5, Mistral Medium 3.5 and Qwen 3.6 27B.
• Deepgram live dictation fixed: streaming always timed out after 10 seconds, and SpeechStarted / UtteranceEnd / endpointing frames failed to parse, dropping words mid-sentence.

Features & Improvements

• Remove filler words in live dictation: the setting previously applied only to non-streaming transcription.
• More reliable streaming shutdown: wider WebSocket close-code handling, a safety net so a stopped recording always reaches a terminal status, and a fixed startup race when recording immediately after launch.

Bug Fixes

• Long Groq dictations no longer fall back to the raw transcript: Groq applies an undocumented 2,048 completion-token default, so long transcripts came back finish_reason=length and were rejected with Response rejected (OutputLimit); keeping original transcription. Requests now send an explicit cap.
• Completed transcriptions can no longer be overwritten: a failure writer could replace an already-saved Completed result.
• Vocabulary replacements: ApplyReplacements now trims only when vocabulary is actually configured.
• Paragraph breaks: the local API /post-process endpoint dropped dictated paragraph breaks.
• Backup export: fixed a crash (NullReferenceException) in backup export settings.
• Reduced Sentry noise from benign no-speech results.
