Mac 0.1.8
Same dictation, less memory
Music: Early Bird by Jay Someday, free-stock-music.com, CC BY 3.0 - While you dictate on the Mac, Sayfare uses a sixth less memory: 1.3 GB instead of 1.6 GB. The proofreader uses up to 3.3 GB when it starts instead of up to 5 GB.
- When you stop dictating, the proofreader frees its memory after 5 minutes instead of 15.
- The text stays the same: on our set of 86 recordings, not one letter differs, with basic fixes or with the proofreader on the Mac.
- The download is smaller: 22 MB instead of 24 MB.
-
Mac 0.1.7
The Mac app tells you about new versions
- When a new version is out, macOS shows a notification once, with an Update button. The button installs it in one click and reopens Sayfare. Clicking the notification opens the About tab in Settings.
- The dictation page shows a banner with the same button.
- Sayfare asks for permission to show notifications only when the first new version comes out. Without permission, the pill at the bottom of the screen tells you instead.
-
Windows 0.2.2
Windows tells you about new versions
- When a new version is out, Sayfare tells you with a notice by the tray icon, a banner on the dictation page and an “Update” button in Settings. The button downloads the new version, checks its signature, installs it and reopens Sayfare.
- Settings has a feedback button.
- Two security fixes: your dictations stay out of the Windows clipboard history, and a password manager’s clipboard is no longer put back after pasting.
-
Mac 0.1.6
Slovene dictation, more accurate without the cloud
Music: Early Bird by Jay Someday, free-stock-music.com, CC BY 3.0 - On your first Slovene dictation Sayfare downloads the Slovene RSDO model (144 MB) and uses it together with whisper. On our set of 86 recordings, dictation fully on the Mac got 19.5 % of words wrong instead of 22.5 %.
- The proofreader no longer changes the Slovene dual form (napiševa, greva).
- Quiet speech, for example from Bluetooth headphones, is boosted before transcription.
- Security fixes.
-
Android 0.1.1
Soniox on the phone and updates from the app
- Soniox as a third speech engine, with your own key.
- The proofreader no longer answers your dictation or adds comments.
- Sayfare tells you when a new version is out, and you update from the app.
-
Windows 0.2.0
A new window on Windows
- A window like on the Mac: sidebar, dictation page with a microphone button, history, dictionary and settings, in light and dark theme.
- A new floating pill while you dictate.
- The installer adds WebView2 when the computer does not have it.
-
Mac 0.1.5
Longer live text and mail without “Hej, Sayfare”
- The live text on the panel shows up to 7 lines.
- In Mail and Gmail, “Napiši mail …” starts Write for me without “Hej, Sayfare”.
- The model on your Mac no longer gets stuck repeating one word.
-
Mac 0.1.4
Transcription with Soniox for everyone
- Transcription with Soniox, with your own key. The text is ready right after you stop dictating.
- When Soniox doesn't answer, ElevenLabs transcribes (if you have a key), and only then the model on your Mac.
-
