Long dictations now finish almost as soon as you stop talking. NEW • Transcribe while you talk: WhisperPad transcribes each stretch of speech while you keep going, so even a five-minute dictation pastes in about two seconds. • Works in any language: Auto-detect finds your language in the first few seconds and keeps it, so non-English dictation is just as fast. • Large v3 Turbo model: near top accuracy at a fraction of the wait. • Profiles: As spoken, Paragraphs, Clean (no ums), Message, Code, or Polished, using Apple's on-device model. Set a different profile for each app. • Personal word list: teach WhisperPad the names and terms it keeps getting wrong, and export it to use on another Mac. • Transcription history, off by default and stored only on your Mac. • Live preview in the floating panel. • Profanity filter. IMPROVED • Redesigned Settings with a new Profiles tab. • Rolling paste types each phrase once and never retypes. • If your microphone is silent, for example during a call, WhisperPad now tells you instead of pasting nothing. FIXED • A "thank you" you actually said at the end of a dictation is no longer removed. • Listening indicator mode could delete text in some apps.

Fixes a bug where "Pause and resume media while recording" could unexpectedly open Apple Music. It now pauses only a player or browser that is actively playing.

New in 1.9.0 Translate as you speak. Dictate in one language and WhisperPad pastes the translation, powered by Apple's on-device translation. It runs entirely on your Mac and works offline. Add the languages you want in System Settings, then pick an output language in Settings > Language. Pause other media while recording. A new mode pauses your music, podcast, or video the moment you start dictating and resumes it when you stop. Prefer to just turn it down instead? The original "lower other audio" option is still there. A cleaner Settings window. Everything is now organized into tabs: General, Transcription, Language, Media, and Account. Plus fixes and polish, including a fix for the welcome window reappearing on every launch. Everything you dictate stays on your Mac, as always.

WhisperPad now pastes your dictated text directly into the active text field, automatically. No more manual paste. Also in this version: • All three transcription modes are now available: Silent, Listening indicator, and Rolling paste. • Onboarding walks you through granting Accessibility so auto-paste works from the start. • Reliability and polish improvements throughout.

v1.7 update notes: - Faster startup. The Small Whisper model now ships inside WhisperPad, so first launch no longer waits for a download. - New floating recording indicator. A clear visual cue shows Listening, then Transcribing, then your final transcript with a one-tap "Copy Again" button. - Free tier is 120 minutes per month, giving you more room to explore WhisperPad before deciding to upgrade.

Previous build wasn't recording voice. Made some changes and it is fixed in testing and in the local distribution just not in the App Store version This should fix that.

This update improves the first-run experience and model setup: • New welcome window that explains how Whisperpad works and how to get started • Download and install Whisper models directly from the welcome screen • Improved layout and text wrapping so setup instructions stay readable at different window sizes
