Everything since 1.5.11.

Floating bar

  • A new Bar style in Settings ▸ Bar and Gboard: Docked (as always) or Floating, a small pill with a soft shadow: ⠿ · ☰ · Cursor · ABC · Voice · one key you choose (Backspace to start).
  • It starts parked at the bottom with the app above it. Drag the grip (⠿) to put it anywhere over the app; drop it near the bottom to park it again.
  • From ☰, Collapse to the record pill leaves just ⠿ · ☰ · Voice, floating over the app, which gets the whole screen. Drag it anywhere; it comes back where you left it. Tap Voice and it grows into the recording pill right there.

The menu (☰)

  • ☰ is always at the far left now, in both styles, and opens a short list: Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste and Select all across the top; Paste with a peek at what's on the clipboard (copied in any app); Recent dictations; Collapse or Open the whole bar; Dock the bar or Floating bar; Switch keyboard; Settings. The keyboard's ⋮ opens the same list.
  • The clipboard history is gone (it only saw copies made while Voicebar was up). The month's cost is in Settings ▸ Voice typing ▸ Estimated cost.

Your keys

  • One bar layout: the seven buttons. Three wide buttons and holding ⌫ for ↵ · space · ⌫ are gone.
  • The keys around Cursor, ABC and Voice are yours: three docked, one floating. New choices: Enter and Docked ↔ floating. Hold a key (or swipe up from it) to pick; Settings has a dropdown for each.
  • All your keys use the same secondary color, whatever they're set to.

Fix by voice

  • Hold Voice to go straight into fixing: a tick, then say what's wrong.
  • The fix works on everything in the box as it is now, hand edits and all.

Long dictations

  • The screen stays on while Voicebar is listening.
