What's New

Local language suggestions

• Detects the current script language entirely on-device with macOS Natural Language after 2.5 seconds without edits.
• Suggests a compatible speech-recognition locale when the script and selected speech language differ.
• Keeps language changes user-controlled and handles regional and Simplified/Traditional script variants.

More reliable microphones and dictation

• Prevents stale permission and recognition callbacks from reviving or replacing stopped microphone sessions.
• Adds cancellable startup states, clearer microphone errors, retry backoff, and safer hardware-change recovery.
• Improves editor dictation across recognition restarts and multi-channel input devices.
• Prevents duplicate microphone sessions during page changes.

Better word following

• Improves CJK token matching, bracketed cue handling, and completion around trailing punctuation.
• Uses long-form dictation hints and source context for better recognition accuracy.
• Includes the recognition-resilience improvements from PR #67 for jumps and transient recognizer availability.
