Changelog

TypeWhisper 1.1 Daily

An early Windows 1.1 build for existing Daily testers. This is a prerelease, not the stable release.

What's new

• Rebuilt WinUI interface with a resizable Quick Launch, pinned commands and workflows, configurable shortcuts and context actions.
• Setup wizard with inline engine/model selection, workflow templates and custom icons.
• New profiles default to Ctrl+Shift for dictation. Previously saved shortcuts are preserved.
• Local HTTP API, CLI and Raycast integration, plus account and cloud-folder sync support.
• Dictation focus restoration, improved first-paste handling, and recovery after standby or reconnecting a microphone.
• Select Stable, Daily or Release Candidate under Account & about, then explicitly check, download and restart to update. Unpublished WinUI channels are shown as unavailable; legacy app/plugin releases are excluded.
• Plugins are downloaded on demand instead of bundled in the installer. The setup wizard installs NVIDIA Parakeet inline before model selection; other plugins are available under Integrations.
• Smaller installer: removed unused WPF and host AI runtimes and duplicate CLI runtime files. The optional CLI uses the same installed .NET runtime as the app.

Installing this Daily

Requires Windows 11 build 26100 (24H2) or newer and the matching architecture of .NET 10 Runtime. Setup checks for .NET 10 and downloads and installs it when missing. The portable ZIP requires that runtime to be installed separately. Download the TypeWhisperDaily Setup.exe matching your architecture (win-x64 or win-arm64). ARM64 is cross-built and has not yet been validated on ARM64 hardware.

This installs alongside the previous TypeWhisper version. Close the previous app before starting the Daily to avoid competing shortcuts. Existing legacy installations do not automatically upgrade to this new package; install it manually. Installed WinUI builds can check for updates in Account & about or from the tray. Installing an update requires an explicit click. Stable and Release Candidate WinUI feeds must be published before switching to those tracks; all tracks must retain the TypeWhisperDaily package identity. Development and portable hosts cannot install app updates.

On first launch, when no WinUI profile exists, dictionary entries, snippets, workflows and transcription history are copied from the previous production profile. The old profile and installation remain unchanged. Existing WinUI profiles are never overwritten or merged automatically.

Settings, sign-ins, license credentials, plugins, models, audio archives and recovery recordings are not copied. History is imported as text. Complete the setup wizard and configure the providers you need. Legacy plugins do not load in the new host; portable plugin migration is still in progress. Calendar sign-in is not available yet.

A fresh installation needs an internet connection to download its first plugin and model. Previously installed portable plugins remain in the profile across app upgrades.

Testing and rollback

Automated logic tests and x64/ARM64 packaging checks pass before publication. Clean x64 installation on Windows 11 24H2 has been verified, including automatic .NET installation, cancellation/retry, repair and portable startup with the runtime present. ARM64 execution and migration from all historical profiles remain unverified. Please keep the previous installation while testing.

To return to the previous version, exit TypeWhisper Daily and launch your existing TypeWhisper app. Uninstalling the Daily does not remove either profile. Report problems with your Windows version, architecture and reproduction steps at https://github.com/TypeWhisper/typewhisper-win/issues.

Portable TypeWhisper plugins for the Windows Daily catalog.

Built from TypeWhisper/typewhisper-win main commit 8c00f8f. This release adds 29 versioned packages; the catalog also retains four previously published, unchanged packages. Each package is a ZIP with a root manifest and a SHA-256 recorded in the catalog. Models and account credentials are not included.

The xAI / Grok plugin is not part of this release while its pull request remains open. Packages target Windows x64; architecture-specific support will be extended separately.

Bug Fixes

• pause media before Bluetooth capture (#1347)
• retry long audio as chunks (#1349)

Other Changes

• prepare plugin 1.1.8 release
• Keep successful dictations recoverable and make Groq context optional (#1354)

Cloudflare Workers AI recorded-audio transcription for the portable Windows host (1.1.2 or later).

Configure a Cloudflare API token and account ID, then select Whisper for dictation. This package uses the separate V2 installation and credential store. This model uses automatic language detection; fixed-language requests, translation and live transcription are not supported.

All 43 automated provider and package lifecycle tests passed. Authenticated service transcription has not been tested because no Cloudflare account was available; publication without that live test was explicitly approved. Windows x64 is the validated package target.

Cloudflare branding is included in the host change. The shared Save settings UI and provider-selection icons are supplied separately by host PRs #479 and #482.

Implementation and validation: #484

WAV uploads are limited to a conservative 100 MB, including headers. Oversized recordings are rejected before encoding or HTTP upload.

Other Changes

• Use native macOS settings sidebar (#1330)

TypeWhisper 1.6.1

Managed license activation

Administrators can now provide a commercial license through the ManagedLicenseKey preference in the com.typewhisper.mac domain. TypeWhisper activates it on launch and saves the activation in the signed-in user's Keychain, without requiring users to enter the key or administrators to script Polar API calls.

• Reuses existing activations across launches and supports administrator key changes.
• Shows a managed license status and hides conflicting manual license controls.
• Preserves an existing license if a replacement cannot be activated.
• Suppresses license selection and purchase prompts while a managed key is configured.
• Reports Keychain storage failures instead of marking an unsaved activation as successful.

See the deployment guide and example configuration profile. Configuration profiles are not secret stores. The app does not display the key, but this does not prevent a sufficiently privileged user from retrieving it.

Bundled integration fixes

• Fix OpenRouter audio uploads for providers that require WAV instead of compressed M4A.
• Restore ElevenLabs compatibility with the TypeWhisper 1.6 host.

Broader MDM configuration for providers/models, cloud usage, updates, launch at login, and onboarding is tracked separately in #1313.

Release validation is tracked in #1315.

Other Changes

• Add paste last transcription action (#1213)
• Add per-dictation submit with Enter (#1310)

Qwen3 ASR (Local) 1.0.0 — V2 preview

Run Qwen3-ASR 0.6B INT8 offline on the CPU through the portable Windows host. Download the model once (879 MB), then choose Use model. No API key, Python installation or local server is needed.

• Windows x64 and ARM64 runtimes; host 1.1.2 or later.
• 30 supported languages, including German and English.
• Verified downloads, cancellation, model removal and selection persistence across restarts.
• Bounded processing for longer recordings, with native inference drained safely on cancellation.

Validated with 15 local tests including real German/English inference, package restart tests and a development-app restart. Real execution was tested on x64 only. The physical microphone-to-Notepad route completed, but the exact-transcript test found one recognition error (transgression instead of transcription); see the PR evidence. These smoke checks are not an accuracy benchmark.

Translation, live preview and streaming are not supported by this plugin version.

Implementation and test evidence: #469

• Rebuilt WinUI interface with a resizable Quick Launch, pinned commands and workflows, configurable shortcuts and context actions.
• Setup wizard with inline engine/model selection, workflow templates and custom icons.
• New profiles default to Ctrl+Shift for dictation. Previously saved shortcuts are preserved.
• Local HTTP API, CLI and Raycast integration, plus account and cloud-folder sync support.
• Dictation focus restoration, improved first-paste handling, and recovery after standby or reconnecting a microphone.
• Select Stable, Daily or Release Candidate under Account & about, then explicitly check, download and restart to update. Unpublished WinUI channels are shown as unavailable; legacy app/plugin releases are excluded.
• Plugins are downloaded on demand instead of bundled in the installer. The setup wizard installs NVIDIA Parakeet inline before model selection; other plugins are available under Integrations.
• Smaller installer: removed unused WPF and host AI runtimes and duplicate CLI runtime files. The optional CLI uses the same installed .NET runtime as the app.

Installing this Daily

Requires Windows 11 build 26100 (24H2) or newer and the matching architecture of .NET 10 Runtime. Setup checks for .NET 10 and downloads and installs it when missing. The portable ZIP requires that runtime to be installed separately. Download the TypeWhisperDaily Setup.exe matching your architecture (win-x64 or win-arm64). ARM64 is cross-built and has not yet been validated on ARM64 hardware.

This installs alongside the previous TypeWhisper version. Close the previous app before starting the Daily to avoid competing shortcuts. Existing legacy installations do not automatically upgrade to this new package; install it manually. Installed WinUI builds can check for updates in Account & about or from the tray. Installing an update requires an explicit click. Stable and Release Candidate WinUI feeds must be published before switching to those tracks; all tracks must retain the TypeWhisperDaily package identity. Development and portable hosts cannot install app updates.

On first launch, when no WinUI profile exists, dictionary entries, snippets, workflows and transcription history are copied from the previous production profile. The old profile and installation remain unchanged. Existing WinUI profiles are never overwritten or merged automatically.

Settings, sign-ins, license credentials, plugins, models, audio archives and recovery recordings are not copied. History is imported as text. Complete the setup wizard and configure the providers you need. Legacy plugins do not load in the new host; portable plugin migration is still in progress. Calendar sign-in is not available yet.

A fresh installation needs an internet connection to download its first plugin and model. Previously installed portable plugins remain in the profile across app upgrades.

Testing and rollback

Automated logic tests and x64/ARM64 packaging checks pass before publication. Clean x64 installation on Windows 11 24H2 has been verified, including automatic .NET installation, cancellation/retry, repair and portable startup with the runtime present. ARM64 execution and migration from all historical profiles remain unverified. Please keep the previous installation while testing.

To return to the previous version, exit TypeWhisper Daily and launch your existing TypeWhisper app. Uninstalling the Daily does not remove either profile. Report problems with your Windows version, architecture and reproduction steps at https://github.com/TypeWhisper/typewhisper-win/issues.

• Add hedged transcription: race the recovery fallback when the primary engine is slow (#1230)

Other Changes

Deepgram 1.1.3 for the Windows 1.1 portable plugin catalog.

• Expose model-specific languages for Nova-2 and Nova-3 so explicit language selection works correctly.
• Preserve regional language codes and report language counts without counting regional aliases separately.

Requires the Windows 1.1 portable host. This preview updates only the v2 catalog; legacy Windows plugin packages and catalogs are unchanged.

Validation: 24 Deepgram tests passed; live Nova-2 and Nova-3 transcription succeeded with explicit English and German. CI passed at source commit 0a2a45f. Published architecture scope remains x64.

The translated-subtitle correction is a separate application change in PR #455 and requires an updated 1.1 application build.

• Added configurable US, UK, Canadian, and Australian English spelling for automatic language detection.
• Added dynamic Gemini model discovery with model-specific reasoning options and a more responsive default model.
• Made the workflow-provider plugins that require TypeWhisper 1.0.9 available in Discover, including Groq 1.0.6.

Reliability improvements

• Kept dictation hotkeys responsive and fixed low-level hook initialization on their dedicated message-loop thread.
• Unloaded local transcription models when switching providers, so inactive models no longer retain their resources.
• Brought the existing TypeWhisper window to the foreground when the app is launched a second time.
• Handled unavailable clipboard bitmap and file-drop formats without blocking dictation.
• Prevented long online transcription previews from stalling while preserving rolling preview cadence, punctuation, and unspaced CJK text.
• Increased output budgets for long workflow prompts and rejected explicitly truncated provider responses instead of returning incomplete text.
• Filtered high-confidence terminal “Thank you” hallucinations from Groq transcripts while preserving genuine dictated content.

Plugins and packaging

• Fixed the manual plugin folder shown by Microsoft Store builds so the path is visible to Explorer and the Open folder button reaches the real MSIX data directory.
• Made plugin registry publishing resilient to overlapping releases and kept Filler Words versioning independent from app releases.
• Added automated Windows UI screenshot capture and expanded release metadata validation for workflow-provider plugins.

Validation notes

• Verify stable Velopack channels win-x64 and win-arm64.
• Confirm x64 and ARM64 installers, portable ZIPs, full nupkg packages, RELEASES files, and JSON manifests are present without -daily suffixes.
• Validate both published portable ZIPs and record the Authenticode status of the published installers.
• Publish Microsoft Store package 1.0.9.0 and WinGet package 1.0.9 separately from the GitHub release.

TypeWhisper 1.6.0 is the stable 1.6 macOS release. It brings a redesigned settings experience, privacy-friendly statistics and portable backups, faster and more resilient recording, calendar-aware meeting automation, expanded workflow integrations, and a broad reliability pass across dictation, Recorder, local models, and cloud providers.

Highlights

• Unified the visual language across Settings, including dashboards, forms, collections, workspaces, and advanced tool pages.
• Added a Statistics view for privacy-friendly aggregate usage insights.
• Added Backup & Restore for portable workflows, dictionary entries, snippets, profiles, prompt actions, hotkeys, installed community plugins, transcription history text, update-channel selection, and supported preferences.
• Improved recording startup performance in controlled hardware tests: median request-to-first-buffer time fell by 22.6% on the built-in MacBook microphone and 13.1% on a tested USB microphone, while opt-in AirPods recording readiness improved by about 45%.
• Added optional calendar-aware meeting automation with notifications, countdown controls, meeting activity checks, automatic Recorder sessions, sortable filenames, versioned transcript metadata, and Obsidian-ready Markdown transcript sidecars for the associated event.
• Added an MCP Client action add-on with stdio and Streamable HTTP support, expanded Obsidian with live sync and Markdown templates, and added bulk plugin updates with automatic restart.
• Added Simplified Chinese localization across the app and bundled integrations; two AirPods keep-alive descriptions remain in English.

Dictation and Recorder

• Added an ordered microphone priority list and improved recovery for AirPods, Bluetooth system-default input, clamshell changes, virtual inputs, and FaceTime built-in microphone capture.
• Moved recording startup work off the main actor and prewarmed eligible inputs to reduce the delay before audio capture begins.
• Improved Whisper Mode amplification with smoother gain changes, less amplification of low-level background noise, stable handling of brief pauses, and protection against clipping; standard recording mode remains unchanged.
• Added optional live transcript updates to active text fields while preserving the final insertion path.
• Fixed automatic meeting transcripts to use the finalized recording as their source of truth, with a captured-audio fallback when the saved file cannot be read.
• Improved long-meeting transcription completeness by aligning final Recorder transcription and retries with File Transcription's source-progress-aware path.
• Improved contextual insertion for Firefox, CJK text, trailing spaces, secure-input situations, auto-submit targets, and target-app correction learning.
• Improved indicator placement, dismissal, fullscreen visibility, feedback interaction, countdown progress, and optional screen-capture visibility.
• Added recovery-audio retention controls and improved direct Recorder retranscription when local models have unloaded.

Dictionary, Workflows, and Automation

• Added dictionary search, safe reset actions, grouped correction variants, clearer learned-correction visibility, and a guided microphone correction trainer.
• Applied dictionary corrections to file transcription and connected per-term CTC tuning to Parakeet.
• Added ordered global LLM provider and model fallbacks while keeping explicit workflow providers strict.
• Added explicit workflow dictation through the local API and a live-preview engine override so preview can stay local while final transcription uses the configured dictation engine.
• Regrouped the menu bar for faster access and now shows the active transcription provider alongside the selected model.

Models and Integrations

• Added Soniox live WebSocket transcription and the local Cohere Transcribe integration.
• Added context-aware OpenAI transcription and dynamic ChatGPT model discovery.
• Expanded OpenAI-Compatible profiles with optional API versions, deployment-scoped endpoints, realtime transcription, and Responses API support.
• Updated the separately distributed OpenRouter plugin to preserve segment timestamps for SRT and VTT exports on supported speech-to-text routes; Deepgram through OpenRouter remains text-only.
• Improved MLX model storage, lazy restore, stalled-download recovery, and lifecycle handling across Qwen3, Gemma 4, Granite, Voxtral, Parakeet, and WhisperKit.
• Fixed Qwen3 long-audio cutoff and loop-fallback behavior, and improved WhisperKit restore after unloads and for workflow-specific model overrides.
• Improved Soniox cleanup and quota reporting, Speechmatics US batch routing and language-pack handling, restricted ElevenLabs key validation, AssemblyAI file-transcription routing, Mistral language handling, and Deepgram custom-URL validation.

Platform and Distribution Notes

• Fixed calendar permission requests and the calendar entitlement used by distributed builds.
• Fixed the Settings sidebar scroll pocket on macOS 27 while preserving the existing layout on macOS 14 through 26.
• Stable 1.6.0 builds use the default Sparkle channel and require macOS 14.0 or later; release candidates and daily builds remain on their dedicated preview channels.
• The final stable tag publishes DMG and ZIP assets, updates the stable Sparkle appcast entry, triggers the website release update, and updates the Homebrew cask.
• Automatic private iCloud sync remains disabled while the production container and Developer ID provisioning profile are unavailable. Cloud Folder Sync through a user-selected iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Syncthing, or custom folder remains available.

Release validation is tracked in the TypeWhisper 1.6.0 checklist.

• Cloud Folder Sync through a user-selected iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Syncthing, or custom folder remains available.

Testing Focus

• Verify an upgrade from 1.6.0-rc1 and a clean installation, including permissions, first dictation, preserved user data, and the Release Candidate update channel.
• Exercise microphone startup and route recovery with built-in, AirPods/Bluetooth, and virtual inputs, including rapid start/stop and permission recovery; in Whisper Mode, cover quiet and loud speech, background audio, brief pauses, and clipping protection.
• Verify calendar meeting notifications, countdown actions, automatic recording, sortable filenames, finalized Recorder files, complete final transcripts, and .transcript.json event metadata with transcription enabled, disabled, failed, and retried.
• Smoke-test MCP Client actions over stdio and Streamable HTTP, Obsidian live sync and templates, bulk plugin updates, and automatic restart.
• Exercise OpenAI-Compatible realtime transcription and Responses API profiles, Qwen3 long audio, WhisperKit restore, Soniox quota errors, restricted ElevenLabs keys, and Speechmatics US batch transcription.
• Verify Simplified Chinese localization and Settings behavior on macOS 27 as well as the retained macOS 14-26 layout.

TypeWhisper v1.0.8

TypeWhisper 1.0.8 is a stable Windows feature and reliability release focused on more flexible workflows, safer authenticated provider integrations, and stronger state preservation across recording, updates, and clipboard use.

Highlights

• Added a first-party integration for authenticated provider CLI sessions used by LLM workflow processing, with executable discovery, authentication status, structured input and output, timeouts, cancellation, and process cleanup.
• Added configurable App or website and App and website matching for automatic workflow triggers while preserving the behavior of existing combined workflows.
• Added \s support for inserting literal spaces in dictionary replacements, with updated guidance in every supported app language.

Reliability Improvements

• Preserved explicitly disabled term packs, vocabulary boosting preferences, and pending industry presets across updates, catalog refreshes, licensing, and user-data migration.
• Fixed recorder overlays so finalizing is no longer shown as an active recording, with more reliable placement across monitors and DPI scales.
• Improved bitmap clipboard capture and restoration for delayed, unavailable, and OLE bitmap representations during temporary paste operations.
• Kept missing or unavailable provider selections visible and actionable instead of silently routing workflow processing to another provider.

Security and Compatibility

• Restricted provider processes to fixed arguments, a controlled environment and working directory, bounded output, disabled tools and project context, and process-tree termination on cancellation or timeout.
• Kept unsupported provider paths unavailable until equivalent per-invocation safety controls can be verified.
• Added stable UI Automation identifiers and clearer recorder overlay status descriptions for accessibility and runtime validation.

Validation Notes

• Verify stable Velopack channels win-x64 and win-arm64.
• Confirm x64 and ARM64 installers, portable ZIPs, full nupkg packages, RELEASES files, and JSON manifests are present without -daily suffixes.
• Validate both published portable ZIPs and record the Authenticode status of the published installers.
• Publish Microsoft Store package 1.0.8.0 and WinGet package 1.0.8 separately from the GitHub release.

TypeWhisper 1.5.0 is the stable 1.5 macOS release. It brings app-aware dictation insertion, virtual audio input support, broader number normalization, expanded bundled speech providers, local-model memory controls, dictionary-learning improvements, and a focused reliability pass across hotkeys, workflows, plugins, model handling, and release metadata.

Highlights

• Added app-aware smart insertion so dictated text better respects surrounding text, sentence position, trailing spaces, terminal paste behavior, and target-app context.
• Added virtual audio input device support and hardened media pause/resume behavior, recording start feedback, mouse-button shortcuts, and fullscreen indicator handling.
• Expanded number normalization across generic transcription output, multilingual number words, Dutch number words, English ordinals, English digit sequences, and French decimal phrases.
• Added and refreshed bundled speech and AI providers, including Gemini speech transcription, Cartesia speech transcription, Sber SaluteSpeech, OpenRouter speech-to-text, Reson8, Mistral AI, OpenAI-compatible profiles, Soniox regions and TTS, and updated cloud ASR providers.
• Added Japanese localization and dictation support, ordered language hints, recent transcriptions in the workflow palette, source progress for file transcription, recorder-specific engine overrides, and a short-dictation workflow AI-skip setting.
• Added local MLX memory-footprint controls, idle local-model auto-unload behavior, and recovery for stalled Gemma 4 model downloads.
• Added pro transcription fallback, auto-learned dictionary corrections, per-term dictionary CTC tuning plumbing, and tighter target-app correction learning.

Reliability and Fixes

• Fixed delayed Hybrid hotkey behavior, restored non-Control hybrid modifier taps, improved global push-to-talk capture, aligned Pages workflow hotkeys with palette behavior, added menu-based dictation pause, and required confirmation before Esc cancels dictation.
• Fixed fullscreen indicator menu-bar strip issues and the top overlay menu-bar strip.
• Fixed Groq and cloud ASR compressed M4A upload handling, including a WAV fallback for incomplete M4A finalization.
• Fixed Soniox async file transcription routing, region persistence, and realtime model selection.
• Fixed OpenAI Compatible GPT-5 token parameter handling, host SDK compatibility, and configurable request-timeout behavior.
• Fixed plugin host compatibility metadata, raised cloud ASR plugin host floors to TypeWhisper 1.5 where required, and prevented plugin releases from taking over the repository-level GitHub Latest marker.
• Fixed TaskForge preserve-clipboard insertion fallback, dictionary scroll crashes, event tap teardown, FaceTime built-in microphone capture, plugin uninstall keychain cleanup, and development build cleanup scope.
• Fixed Parakeet v2/v3 model setup by repairing missing vocabulary downloads before model loading.
• Improved Japanese dictation post-processing and settings localization, Latin word replacement boundaries, terminal clipboard restore verification, and recorder final transcription failure surfacing.

Developer and Distribution Notes

• Stable 1.5.0 builds use the default Sparkle channel and require macOS 14.0 or later.
• Release candidates and daily builds remain on their dedicated Sparkle channels and do not update Homebrew.
• The final stable tag publishes DMG and ZIP assets, updates the stable Sparkle appcast entry, triggers the website release dispatch, and updates the Homebrew cask.
• The 1.5 plugin line uses the community-capable registry feed and keeps host compatibility metadata aligned with the bundled plugin SDK.

TypeWhisper v1.0.0-rc1

TypeWhisper 1.0.0-rc1 is the first release candidate for the Windows 1.0 release. It focuses on release quality, update reliability, plugin compatibility, and the stability fixes needed before the stable 1.0 tag.

Release Candidate Focus

• Prepared the Windows app for the 1.0.0-rc1 release-candidate channel.
• Kept the RC scope focused on blocker fixes, compatibility, documentation, and QA rather than new workflow surfaces.
• Preserved the stable 1.0 path for a short RC soak before publishing v1.0.0.

Improvements

• Loaded bundled app plugins from the installed application directory alongside marketplace and user-installed plugins.
• Preferred marketplace or user-installed plugin copies when they share an id with a bundled plugin.
• Aligned OpenAI and Supertonic TTS plugin host compatibility with the Windows 1.0 release line.
• Documented the RC validation focus for Windows 10 startup, plugin loading, update channels, and local acceleration diagnostics.

Fixes

• Fixed Groq recorder transcription on Windows systems where Media Foundation AAC encoding is unavailable by falling back to WAV upload.
• Preserved cancellation behavior for Groq transcription while avoiding hard failures for AAC encoder availability issues.

Known RC Packaging Note

• The v1.0.0-rc1 Windows Setup.exe assets are currently unsigned. Windows may show SmartScreen or publisher warnings during installation.
• Code signing remains a stable v1.0.0 release gate unless the release communication is updated again.

RC Validation Notes

• Check startup responsiveness on Windows 10 22H2 systems with virtual audio devices such as Voicemeeter.
• Confirm upgrade behavior from v0.8.4 to the RC channel and fresh portable RC launches.
• Verify OpenAI and Supertonic TTS visibility in the plugin marketplace on a 1.0.0-rc1 host.
• Verify Velopack RC-channel assets and x64/ARM64 package completeness.

TypeWhisper v1.5.0-rc2 refreshes the 1.5 release-candidate line after rc1 with tighter local-model memory controls, broader provider reliability fixes, dictionary-learning improvements, and another pass over hotkeys, workflows, plugins, and release infrastructure.

Highlights

• Added local MLX memory-footprint controls and improved recovery for stalled Gemma 4 model downloads.
• Added the pro transcription fallback and surfaced auto-learned dictionary corrections so app-specific cleanup can be inspected and reused.
• Added per-term dictionary CTC tuning plumbing and tightened when target-app corrections are learned.
• Refined push-to-talk, Hybrid modifier hold activation, Pages workflow hotkeys, menu-based dictation pause, and automatic workflow output format resolution.
• Added and updated provider paths across Mistral AI, MemPalace, Soniox regions and TTS, OpenAI-compatible thinking and token behavior, cloud ASR providers, and bundled marketplace metadata.

Reliability and Fixes

• Fixed Groq M4A upload fallback handling and compressed cloud ASR uploads.
• Raised cloud ASR plugin host floors to TypeWhisper 1.5 and restored plugin host compatibility for older release lines where needed.
• Fixed TaskForge preserve-clipboard insertion fallback, dictionary scroll crashes, idle local-model auto-unload, event tap teardown, and FaceTime built-in microphone capture.
• Fixed OpenAI Compatible GPT-5 token parameter handling and host SDK compatibility.
• Fixed Soniox region persistence, async file transcription routing, and realtime model selection.
• Improved Japanese dictation post-processing and settings localization, Latin word replacement boundaries, and French decimal normalization.
• Cleaned up plugin keychain data on uninstall and kept development build cleanup scoped to the TypeWhisper-Dev build.

Testing Focus

• Verify local MLX memory controls, idle unload behavior, and Gemma 4 stalled-download recovery.
• Verify pro transcription fallback, dictionary correction learning, per-term CTC tuning, and dictionary scroll behavior.
• Verify global push-to-talk, Hybrid modifier hold, menu pause, Pages workflow hotkeys, workflow output resolution, and Esc confirmation behavior.
• Smoke-test Groq, cloud ASR providers, Mistral AI, MemPalace, Soniox STT/TTS, and OpenAI-compatible profile paths.
• Verify TaskForge preserve-clipboard insertion fallback, FaceTime mic capture, event tap teardown, and plugin uninstall cleanup.
• Confirm v1.5.0-rc2 publishes on the release-candidate Sparkle channel, remains a GitHub prerelease, and does not update Homebrew or the stable website release path.

TypeWhisper 1.5.0-rc1 opens the 1.5 release-candidate line with app-aware dictation insertion, virtual audio input support, broader number normalization, new speech providers, and a focused reliability pass across plugins, model handling, workflows, and release metadata.

Highlights

• Added app-aware smart insertion so dictation output better respects the surrounding text, sentence position, trailing spaces, terminal paste behavior, and target-app context.
• Added virtual audio input device support and hardened media pause/resume handling, recording start feedback, mouse-button shortcuts, and Safari/fullscreen indicator behavior.
• Expanded number normalization across generic transcription output, multilingual number words, Dutch number words, English ordinals, and English digit sequences.
• Added new bundled speech providers and plugin releases, including Gemini speech transcription, Cartesia speech transcription, Sber SaluteSpeech, OpenRouter speech-to-text, Reson8, OpenAI-compatible profiles, and the experimental SenseVoice line before its removal from the bundled set.
• Added Japanese localization and dictation support, ordered language hints, recent transcriptions in the workflow palette, source progress for file transcription, recorder-specific engine overrides, and a short-dictation workflow AI-skip setting.
• Added commercial Cloud Folder Sync, the standalone setup wizard, README screenshot automation, plugin update-state diagnostics, repair actions, and clearer issue-template diagnostics guidance.

Reliability and Fixes

• Fixed smart insertion mid-sentence edge cases, terminal clipboard restore races, trailing-space insertion, middle-mouse pass-through, indicator visibility over fullscreen apps, and overlay live transcript preview expansion.
• Improved long file transcription progress, Groq uploads, Apple Speech first-use model selection, selected Apple Speech model restoration, custom workflow fine-tuning prompts, and workflow prompt casing diagnostics.
• Hardened cloud LLM behavior by honoring plugin model selection, parsing Gemini array errors, and avoiding legacy global model poisoning.
• Updated Soniox async transcription to model v5 and disabled dictionary-term prompts for Qwen3 ASR where they do not apply.
• Treated Reson8 as a single-language engine, added configurable LLM request timeout support to the OpenAI Compatible plugin, and required TypeWhisper 1.5 for the Gemini plugin.
• Fixed Cartesia plugin settings and prevented plugin releases from taking over the repository-level GitHub "latest" marker.

Testing Focus

• Verify app-aware insertion in plain text, mid-sentence, terminal, and rich-text targets.
• Verify virtual audio input recording, media pause/resume, mouse-button shortcuts, and indicator behavior in Safari fullscreen and other fullscreen apps.
• Verify number normalization for multilingual number words, Dutch, English ordinals, English digit sequences, and API/CLI dictionary corrections.
• Smoke-test Gemini, Cartesia, Sber SaluteSpeech, OpenRouter STT, Reson8, and OpenAI-compatible profile setup paths.
• Verify file transcription progress, recent-transcription workflow palette behavior, ordered language hints, Japanese dictation, and short-dictation AI-skip workflows.
• Confirm v1.5.0-rc1 publishes on the release-candidate Sparkle channel, remains a GitHub prerelease, and does not update Homebrew or the stable website release path.
