Talkty 1.5.0 improves the dictation window and removes avoidable work while recording.
- Clearer microphone action, recording state and selected local/cloud model.
- A larger output-destination control with accurate cursor, clipboard, history-only or ADE draft feedback.
- Search history by final text or original spoken transcription, with distinct no-match and empty-history messages.
- Pause checks use the existing audio buffer rather than copying it. A focused 1,000-check benchmark eliminated 51.2 MB of temporary allocations. This does not establish a faster overall transcription distribution.
- Obsolete early recognition cancels when speech resumes. Full recordings, the selected model and exact final-audio matching remain intact. An early cloud request may already have been accepted and billed when cancelled.
- Optional dictation to a named Hephaestus ADE agent draft. The complete instruction is staged for review without replacing the clipboard or automatically sending a turn. Unverified handoffs stay encrypted locally and retry with their original destination and operation ID.
- Command delivery reconciles operation receipts after lost responses rather than blindly repeating an action.
- Updated privacy and command-integration documentation, including the installer's ADE data-sharing disclosure.
Direct draft delivery needs the matching protocol-v1 ADE capture receiver. ADE 0.0.108 does not include that receiver; ordinary Talkty dictation remains available. Durable command receipts require the matching Hermes update. This installer does not install ADE, Athena Desktop or Hermes.
Upgrade by running TalktySetup-1.5.0.exe over the existing installation. Settings, history, recovery files, downloaded models and an existing CUDA pack are preserved. Existing all-users installations may require Windows administrator approval. The installer is not code signed. The optional CUDA pack is unchanged.
The committed source passed the full 405-test Release suite and exact-source GitHub CI. Production WPF layouts were rendered and inspected at the minimum and larger window sizes. Clean-machine installation and live microphone/desktop-input behavior are not established by these checks. No private recording or paid model request was used for packaging verification.
