Wheelhouse 1.0.4
Download Wheelhouse-Setup.exe below, double-click it, and follow the wizard. The PowerShell one-liner in INSTALL.md still works and installs the same thing. Updating from an earlier release is safe: run the new installer over your existing install -- it preserves your settings, your personal voice patterns, and the downloaded speech model.
The installer is digitally signed (publisher: David Chesley Hite III). Windows SmartScreen may still warn while the new file builds reputation: click More info, check the publisher name, then Run anyway. INSTALL.md documents this.
Added
- When the window you are dictating into belongs to a program running as administrator, Wheelhouse now shows a notice explaining that Windows blocks typing into administrator programs -- and how to fix it (restart Wheelhouse with right-click, Run as administrator) -- instead of silently doing nothing. The terminal dictation editor performs the same check before pasting.
- "Wheelhouse help online" now opens the official Wheelhouse Assistant by default -- a ChatGPT assistant that always answers from the latest released help document.
Fixed
- The "x-ray" commands are now recognized when the Parakeet speech engine splits or fuses the word (for example "x ray" or "xray").
- Help-document corrections: the mouse scroll commands now lead with the thumb-wheel behavior, the guidance on mishears and on volume commands was corrected, and a five-domain accuracy audit against the current code corrected twelve more inaccuracies covering voice commands, configuration, installation, speech engines, and plugins.
Changed
- The product name is now spelled Wheelhouse -- one word, capital W only. The installer is now
Wheelhouse-Setup.exe, new installs go to aWheelhousefolder with matching shortcuts and Add/Remove entry, and every notice, window title, document, and the website use the new spelling. The GitHub repository is nowgithub.com/wheelhouse-project/Wheelhouse(old links redirect). Existing installs keep the old folder spelling until reinstalled; behavior is unaffected. - Installation guidance now leads with the graphical installer (
Wheelhouse-Setup.exe); the PowerShell one-liner remains available as an alternative.
