New

  • Transcribe Audio File… (menubar): drop in a voice memo or meeting recording — transcribed locally in chunks with live progress, result copied to the clipboard and saved as a <name> transcript.txt next to the audio. A live dictation always takes priority; the job pauses and resumes around it.
  • Voice commands v1: say just "scratch that" / "undo that" to undo the last dictation, "new line" / "press enter" for Return, "new paragraph" for a blank line. Whole-utterance only — command words inside normal dictation are never intercepted. Toggle in Settings → Dictation.
  • Usage stats in History: words today / all-time, estimated time saved vs typing, and your daily streak.
  • Personal dictionary import/export (Settings → Dictation): move learned corrections + vocabulary between Macs as JSON.

Faster

  • final no longer waits for the audio archive write — FLAC encoding moved off the stop→final path.
  • Fixed a potential multi-second stall at dictation start when the target app is busy (AX timeout).

More reliable (cross-vendor audit round — all P1 findings fixed)

  • Switching audio devices mid-recording (AirPods connecting, mic unplugged) no longer silently kills capture — the recording just continues on the new device.
  • Model switches refused by a busy engine no longer leave the Settings picker lying; engine state is authoritative.
  • Fixed a config write race that could silently revert settings changed during a model download.
  • History rows can no longer be silently dropped when background vocab mining reads the DB (sqlite busy timeout).
  • Learned corrections: a one-off content edit (e.g. vercel→Netlify) can no longer become an instant global rewrite; genuine mishearings still learn on first sight.
  • Undo command is keyboard-layout-safe (no ⌘W surprises on AZERTY), pastes are protected on slow Electron apps, plus a dozen smaller fixes.

196 engine tests + 49 app self-checks green. All local, zero network, as always.
