The dictation pill is now a fob — just like ROAR Android.

The mic fob

  • Always there. Idle, ROAR shows a small round mic button you can put anywhere on any monitor. While you dictate, it expands into the familiar waveform pill right where it sits.
  • Tap to talk. Tap the fob to start hands-free dictation; tap again to stop and type. Same behavior as double-tapping your hotkey — hotkeys still work exactly as before.
  • Drag anywhere. ROAR remembers the position across restarts. If it was parked on a monitor that's now unplugged, it safely returns to bottom-center.
  • Right-click for quick actions: Scratch that · Read selected text · Open Settings · Hide fob.
  • Never steals your focus. Clicking the fob doesn't take keyboard focus from the app you're dictating into (WS_EX_NOACTIVATE) — so your words always land where you were working. If Windows refuses the style, the fob turns display-only instead of risking typing into the wrong window.

Don't want it? Turn it off from the fob's own menu, the tray's "Show mic fob", or Settings → Voice & Mic — you get exactly the previous pill-only behavior back.

Also in this build

Everything from v0.32.0 (ROAR Flow automations & routing, live transcript view, meeting capture, OSC show control, Translate mode) — see the v0.32.0 notes if you're upgrading from v0.30.0.

Install: download ROAR-Setup-0.33.0.exe below and run it (exit ROAR from the tray first if it's running). Fully local — no account, no telemetry, no subscription. The speech model downloads once on first run.
