@github-actions github-actions released this 03 Jun 12:25

Highlights

  • New Int8 Parakeet model — a quantized variant that runs about a third faster on CPU with minimal accuracy loss. The setup wizard now recommends the right variant for your machine (Int8 for CPU, FP32 for GPU).
  • Automatic CPU fallback when a GPU model fails to load — no more startup crash when VRAM is unavailable.
  • Better NVIDIA support — automatic cuDNN detection, including older (Pascal) GPUs.

New

  • Add extra/virtual keyboards for the dictation shortcut (#10).
  • Auto-detect the number of CPU threads for better out-of-the-box performance.

Fixes

  • Fixed repeated characters / stutter where the last character could repeat 5-7 times (#8).
  • The dictation shortcut no longer grabs the mouse or touchpad, avoiding input lockups.
  • Fixed pasting of non-Latin and accented text.
  • The microphone mute state is now preserved instead of being force-unmuted.
  • Long files: fixed repeated sentences caused by chunk-overlap de-duplication.
  • Fixed a startup crash on KDE neon and other rolling-Qt distributions (#13).
  • Transcription editor: fixes for tab switching, export honoring your edits, and drag-and-drop.

Packaging

  • PipeWire is now a hard dependency (dictation failed silently without it).
  • Install fixes: Arch builds from the release/1.3 tag, tarball uinput permission parity, and the wizard mic test on CUDA builds.
