TextRecast v0.3.0

TextRecast 0.3.0 introduces a guided Windows installer and an explicit review-before-replacement workflow.

Highlights

  • Installs per user through one self-contained Windows setup executable; .NET 10 does not need to be installed separately.
  • Presents the Apache-2.0 license, privacy notice, destination, and four compatible local-model choices before installation.
  • Downloads only the model selected by the user, with resumable transfer and exact size and SHA-256 verification.
  • Keeps source text unchanged while the user generates, reviews, edits, copies, or regenerates a revision.
  • Revalidates the captured source and replaces it only after Replace selection is chosen.
  • Closes the editor after a clean replacement; failures and clipboard-restoration warnings remain visible with the revision preserved.
  • Uses a compact Windows-controlled light/dark interface for setup, the floating launcher, rewrite editor, and information dialogs.
  • Lets the floating launcher toggle the editor open and closed without recapturing an already open selection.
  • Offers default-checked Launch, Desktop shortcut, and Start at sign-in choices on the completion page.
  • Removes application files and owned shortcuts during uninstall while preserving downloaded models and setup state for reinstall.

Included model choices

Profile Model Download
Fast/default Qwen 2.5 1.5B Q4_K_M 1.04 GiB
Balanced Qwen 3.5 2B Q5_K_M 1.34 GiB
Best quality Qwen 3.5 4B Q5_K_M 2.93 GiB
Alternative Granite 4.1 3B Q5_K_M 2.27 GiB

All choices currently target English rewriting. Local models can change meaning or details, so review every revision before replacement.

Install

  1. Download TextRecast-v0.3.0-win-x64-setup.exe and its .exe.sha256 file.
  2. Optionally verify the SHA-256 checksum.
  3. Close any running TextRecast instance, run Setup, and choose one compatible model.
  4. Keep or clear the completion-page Desktop and Start at sign-in options, then choose Finish.

The installer contains no GGUF model. An internet connection is required when the selected model is not already installed. The current Microsoft Visual C++ x64 Redistributable may also be required.
