v1.1.1

Custom vocabulary edits now take effect immediately — no manual restart or reconnect needed. Cloud engines (Soniox, Volcengine) rebuild their persistent connection automatically whenever a term changes, so new words apply without you having to disconnect and reconnect by hand. Additions, edits, and deletions on the vocabulary page are saved instantly, so you won't lose changes just because you forgot to hit save.

Apple's on-device engine now also reads your vocabulary list as a recognition hint, noticeably improving hit rates for proper nouns, names, and terminology.

macOS 26 users installing for the first time now default to Apple Speech — works out of the box, zero network latency. Multi-language mode ships with French enabled by default, so mixed-language speakers don't need to dig into settings to turn it on. The Apple engine's "typewriter" text-reveal pacing was retuned to smooth over the engine's batched arrivals, making it feel closer to text appearing as you speak.

The Soniox translation protocol moved to the v4 schema (the server switched a while ago; old fields were being silently ignored). The menu bar now refreshes instantly on license-state changes, so falling back to Apple Speech on expiry doesn't get stuck on the old provider. Switching providers from the menu bar is now guarded against accidentally landing on an engine with no key configured or that's otherwise unavailable.
