Changelog
What ships in each build of Edict.
v1.0.2
Onboarding starts with the two permission grants, then shows you the keys and sends you off dictating. Setup first, cheat sheet second.
The pill’s “cancel” hint no longer wraps onto a second line when you dictate into an app with a long name, and the pill is slightly wider so the full name fits.
Microphone problems say so. A mic delivering silence shows “mic is silent · check mute or volume” on the pill, a chosen device that can’t be used announces the fallback to your system default, and a headset that reconnects mid-session gets re-routed instead of capture dying.
v1.0.1
Nothing new inside the app. This release exercised the built-in updater end to end before launch, so the first update you ever install has itself been through the pipeline.
v1.0
One-key dictation: tap or hold Right Command, talk, and the text pastes where your cursor is. Esc cancels, Right Option re-pastes, all three keys rebindable.
On-device speech recognition on the Neural Engine (NVIDIA Parakeet v3), models bundled inside the app. No account, no cloud, works offline from first launch.
Verbatim by design: your exact words plus your own spelling fixes, never a rewrite. The model is warm at launch, and pre-roll capture means the first word is never clipped.
File transcription: drop in audio or video, get SRT, VTT, or plain text with the speakers labeled, at about 150x real time.
Dictionary: whole-word spelling fixes from a plain CSV, editable in Settings or by your agent.
Transcript history: everything you dictate stays on this Mac, searchable in the app.
Local MCP server: agents can search your transcripts, pull the last one, send in files to transcribe, and keep the word list current.
Wrong-window guard: if focus moved while you talked, the transcript stays on your clipboard instead of pasting into the wrong app.
Auto-send: allowlist your agents and a finished dictation submits itself, signaled on the pill before you release the key.
Updates via a built-in checker that asks before it ever goes online.
7-day fully functional trial, one-time license, 14-day money-back.
