Release notes

diktafon 0.4.1

• Long dictations transcribe in full. Speaking for minutes without a clear pause could send the whole recording to the model at once, which then repeated one phrase instead of transcribing the rest. Such speech is now split at its quietest moment before 40 seconds.

diktafon 0.4.0

• Croatian dictation with its own models. Choose Croatian and diktafon switches to Diktafon Dictate HR 1 and Diktafon Polisher HR 1, trained for Croatian dictation. Against Canary 1B v2 they make about half the errors, and two thirds fewer on long dictations, and the text comes out with punctuation, fillers removed, obvious corrections resolved and numbers as digits. Both download once and run locally.
• Pauses no longer break sentences. A dictation of up to 40 seconds is transcribed in one piece instead of one piece per pause, so stopping to think mid-sentence no longer ends the sentence there.

diktafon 0.3.1

• Dictation can reach the microphone again. Every release before this one was signed without the entitlement macOS requires under the hardened runtime, so the microphone was refused before it could ask: no permission dialog, and no diktafon row in System Settings to grant it from. Allow the microphone when diktafon asks and dictation works.

diktafon 0.3.0

• Dictation works on a fresh install. Diktafon opened the microphone before asking for it, so macOS recorded a silent denial and never showed a prompt. The app looked like it had never asked, and every dictation came back empty. It now settles the permission first, and an install stuck in that state repairs itself on this version.
• A setup window on first run. Diktafon asks for the microphone and for Accessibility one at a time, in a window you can see, instead of a prompt that could open behind whatever you were working in. It appears once, only when a permission is missing, and skips anything you have already granted.
• Permissions you can check. Settings > Advanced > Permissions reports both grants and can request either one.
• A silent microphone says so. A dictation that hears nothing because the grant is missing now says "Allow the microphone in Settings" instead of pasting nothing.

diktafon 0.2.1

• A silent microphone says so. A dictation that hears nothing because macOS never granted microphone access now ends with "Microphone access needed" instead of quietly pasting nothing.
• Permissions in Settings. Advanced shows whether Microphone and Accessibility are granted, and can request either one without a trip through System Settings.
• The first-run prompt comes forward. Diktafon lives in the menu bar with no window, and its permission prompt could open behind whatever you were working in. It now brings itself to the front before asking.

diktafon 0.2.0

• Updates install themselves. diktafon checks for a new version once a day and installs it in place when you say so. Copies of 0.1.2 and older have to be installed by hand one last time.
• Press to toggle. Settings > General lets the hotkey start a dictation on one press and paste on the next, instead of holding it while you speak.
• Microphone picker. Choose which input diktafon records from, or follow the system default. A microphone that is not connected falls back to the default until it returns.
• Homebrew. brew install --cask infomiho/tap/diktafon installs the app and keeps it updatable.

diktafon 0.1.2

• Dictations no longer retain memory. A clipboard image restored after a paste is released, the keyboard event source used for pasting is reused instead of recreated, and CoreAudio device ownership is handled correctly.
• Leaks stay fixed. Memory profiling is now a repeatable script with regression checks.

diktafon 0.1.1

• Idle memory no longer grows. Native views and graphics resources are released when the recording pill and the Settings window close, so a copy left running all day stays small.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/infomiho/diktafon/compare/v0.1.0...v0.1.1

diktafon 0.1.0

• Hold to dictate. Hold Option+Space, speak, release, and the text is pasted into the frontmost app.
• On-device speech. Canary 1B Flash or Cohere Transcribe runs locally through transcribe.cpp, so audio never leaves the Mac.
• Cleanup pass. S1-mini by Superwhisper removes fillers and false starts and fixes punctuation, numbers, and dates.
• Menu bar app. No dock icon and no window to manage. Settings cover the model pipeline, the hotkey, and sound cues.
• Signed and notarized. Releases ship as a Developer ID DMG, with a landing page and release notes at diktafon.miho.dev.
