Real time dictation in 40 languages

Real time dictation was English only until today. A second model is now available in Settings, alongside the English one: install it and it takes over automatically, so dictation in any of the 40 covered languages shows words appearing as you speak instead of waiting for the end. Keep both installed and the app always prefers the wider one. Nothing is auto detected from your system language, so install it yourself if you want it.

New

• Added a 40 language model for real time dictation, installed from Settings as a second download next to the English only one.

Improvements

• Sped up real time dictation to 13 ms on Linux, 20 ms on Mac, and 27 ms on Windows, stop to paste.
• Sped up pasting on Mac.
• Sped up pasting into editors on Linux, cutting the wait after a non terminal paste from about 62 ms to 14 ms.
• Sped up pasting right after copying something large, which previously could add almost 250 ms to the wait.
• Reduced memory use on Mac while using a Streaming mode.
• Renamed the Raw dictation mode to Verbatim.

No longer broken

• Fixed audio being lost at the very start of a dictation on Mac, Windows and Linux, which dropped the first word.
• Fixed the Mac in app updater quitting mid install and leaving the old version in place.
• Fixed the recording overlay sometimes showing the previous dictation's text when a new one starts.
• Fixed cancelling a streaming dictation leaving its text behind in the next one.
• Fixed the pointer flickering between a hand and a text cursor while crossing the recording overlay's toolbar.
• Fixed a false "mic may be muted" warning that could appear during a quiet pause.
• Fixed recording sometimes failing silently.
• Fixed the recording overlay saying it was recording before the microphone had started.
• Fixed real time dictation on Linux not showing words as you speak.
