Reed 0.3.5

Reed 0.3.5

• Hands-free dictation: double-tap the shortcut to keep listening without holding it. Tap once to finish, or press Esc to discard.
• Reed no longer quits when AirPods connect just as you start dictating.
• The first dictation after a pause no longer fails with "Microphone didn't start" when AirPods are your default audio device and Reed uses another microphone.

Reed 0.3.4

Reed 0.3.4

• The dictation pill appears in place again. In 0.3.3 it could show up off-centre and jump into position, and feel laggy, especially when the Mac was busy.
• The faint grey rectangle around the pill and the microphone warnings is gone.
• Closing setup or Settings now fully releases the window, so nothing from it keeps running in the background.

Reed 0.3.3

• Reed no longer uses CPU while idle after a dictation. In 0.3.2 the dictation pill's spinner kept animating after the pill disappeared, holding Reed at about 20% CPU and slowing the Mac until the next dictation.

Reed 0.3.2

Reed 0.3.2

• Self-corrections at the end of a sentence now resolve: "Meet at 7 PM, sorry, 5 PM" becomes "Meet at 5:00 PM."
• A correction can now replace a time, email or form number you changed your mind about.
• "I'm sorry" and other apologies are no longer deleted during cleanup.
• Amounts in thousands are written as digits: "$4,000", not "$4 thousand"; round millions read "4 million".
• Versions and addresses dictated with "dot" convert whole: "zero dot three dot five" becomes "0.3.5".
