Release notes and version history for WalkAITalkie.
v2.10.1
Create Email turns session notes into a draft that reads like a normal mail: a dated subject, a greeting, when the session started and how long it ran, the summary and notes under plain headings, numbered action items and a sign-off, written in the language of the notes
When session notes are too long for one email, the action items are shortened last. If no mail app opens, the subject and text are put on the clipboard. Copy now copies what the window shows, including the key terms
Sessions recorded across a room are split at real pauses in speech instead of every few seconds, and a long stretch without a break is cut in a pause. In our tests with recorded meetings this caused fewer word errors in English and German
A dictation promoted to a session is no longer ended early by the silence auto-stop, unplugging a headset during it no longer discards the recording, and the next dictation no longer contains text from the earlier recording
A session that fails to start no longer loses the next dictation, and after a session the dictation auto-stop works again
History → Convert to… applies the chosen format including its translation and notes language, preselects the format the recording was made with, shows the right format afterwards and keeps key terms
Settings → Pro: Activate license again and Deactivate This Mac show an error instead of failing silently
Session notes written in a different language than the one spoken are marked Experimental when summarized on your Mac, because the on-device model can miss or invent action items
Session Notes, Clean Up and Raw keep their English names in every app language
The app no longer quits when Codex or Claude Code has to be stopped after a timeout, and Clean Up in German no longer treats “er” or a sentence-opening “Halt” as filler
VoiceOver reads the buttons in the result windows, such as Create Email and Copy, by their own names again
v2.10.0
Session notes tell speakers apart with a new on-device model, NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Diarization. Every word is assigned to the person who said it, so short interjections keep their own label
Speaker labels handle up to 8 speakers and no longer stop at 90 minutes: the recording is read in 30-second pieces, so memory use stays flat however long the session runs
If you already had speaker labels set up, the new model (about 97 MB) arrives automatically in the background; the old one is removed once the new one has loaded
If less than 1 GB of memory is free when a session ends, speaker labels are skipped with a notice. The transcript is always complete
Dictation: the Parakeet engine now runs on FluidAudio 0.17.1, which made fewer word errors in our German benchmark
History shows the real reason when a session-notes summary is incomplete, for example missing action items, instead of reporting a timeout
Stopping a session within a split second of a pause boundary no longer makes the transcription fail
About → Open Source Licenses includes the OpenMDW-1.1 license text and the notices for Nemotron 3 Diarization
Session notes tell two or three speakers apart again on long meetings. Overlap is added up per speaker and a chunk that spans several people is split at the turn boundaries
Dictation no longer picks up an invented closing sentence from the silence after your last word
Clean Up keeps your wording: if the model swaps a pronoun, drops a negation or changes a number, the raw text is kept and History shows why
First-person commitments (“I’ll send the budget on Friday”) land in the action items instead of the notes
You can choose the language your session notes are written in, per format; the default stays the language of the recording
Session notes: the number-consistency filter now runs for German and English only. In other languages, correct sentences with numbers written out as words are kept
Each recording mode in the menu now arms its own format instead of keeping the previous mode's
Settings → Speech & Text: the language list uses the same availability logic as General, so both places offer the same languages
Settings has been rebuilt around one consistent vocabulary. A badge now means the same thing on every page, so you can tell at a glance what is merely suggested, what is downloaded, and what is actually running
The Account tab is now called Pro, and the Processing tab is now Speech & Text. Your licence key goes into Settings → Pro
Speech setup has always been automatic — now it says so. The app shows which engine and model it picked for your language, and the expert options only appear once you take over yourself
Onboarding is down to three steps
Mixed-language recordings stay readable. An internal language hint used to mangle English passages inside a German recording; it now applies only to languages written in a non-Latin script
Session notes no longer invent numbers. Figures that never appear in the recording are removed, and the notes tell you when that happened instead of quietly changing them
Settings reopens on the pane you had open last instead of jumping back to General
In dark mode, text on the Pro surfaces is legible again
Direct download: the cloud accelerator card now appears for everyone with Codex or Claude Code installed, not only when the app was started from a terminal. Detection runs under the same environment as the summaries themselves
Detection is bounded to five seconds and no longer freezes Settings if a CLI does not answer
Settings say what is actually wrong (not installed, not signed in, Node.js runtime not in a standard location, and more) and offer a Check again link
The processing options, including the cloud accelerator, no longer disappear when your dictation format is Raw — which was the default, so most people never saw them
The translation target language is now visible and changeable directly in the menu, and choosing your own speech language as the target is called out instead of silently doing nothing
Cloud processing with your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key has been removed. Speech recognition always runs on your Mac
Direct download, Pro: the cloud accelerator can write session notes through the Codex CLI or the Claude Code CLI you are already signed in to. Text only, off until you choose a provider and confirm it, and the app shows which provider actually wrote the summary
The Mac App Store version has no cloud processing at all
v2.6.0
Pro is now a single one-time purchase with no subscription, credits, or account. Existing licenses keep working
Choose a format before recording from the menu. Free includes Raw and Clean; Pro unlocks the other formats
The speech language picker is now directly in the menu
The Processing tab starts with a short summary and folds advanced engine options away. Choose on-device processing or your own API key
Updated model catalog with TranslateGemma for translation, retired outdated Whisper variants, and verified model sizes
Hardened Pro entitlement checks and removed the retired cloud account
Translation overhaul: custom Formats now reliably apply your chosen target language, Quick Copy respects your active Format, and a new target-language picker in the Formats tab puts translation exactly where you set everything else up
AI model storage moved to Application Support with automatic migration — fixes silent re-downloads and model-load failures caused by iCloud offloading model files from your Documents folder
AI processing problems no longer fail silently: a clear banner and menu-bar state now tell you when the on-device model needs attention, so your text never just disappears
Automatic session summaries: Meeting and session recordings now summarize themselves as soon as the on-device model is ready, with clearer progress and a dependable cancel — capture, transcription, and summarization all run on your Mac, nothing is ever uploaded
Summaries keep speaker context, so who-said-what carries through into your structured meeting notes and follow-up email drafts
Refined Settings: your chosen Format is now the active preset, with clearer Quick vs. Session capture labels and a more discoverable layout
Security hardening for direct distribution: the offline Pro cache is now signed, stored via Keychain-backed state, and rejects tampered or rollback-prone cache data
StoreKit role sync now refuses to report Pro status unless it has a verified transaction JWS, reducing false entitlement updates
Meeting and long-recording reliability improvements, including persistence-error toasts for failed history/status saves
Format and Meeting Mode polish from the record-first hardening cycle, with additional regression coverage across the Swift test suite
New Meeting Mode: record a meeting and get a structured summary plus a ready-to-send follow-up email draft — capture, transcription, and summarization all run on your Mac, nothing is ever uploaded
Smarter on-device language models: refreshed catalog with Qwen3.5 and Gemma-4 for faster, higher-quality text cleanup, translation, and summaries
Cleaner account experience: the Account tab stays out of the way until you opt into cloud features, with one-click Restore Purchases and Delete Account
Upgraded Parakeet speech engine: FluidAudio 0.15.2 with nine months of upstream accuracy and speed improvements, fully ANE-native
Script-aware language filtering keeps recognition locked to your selected language, noticeably reducing wrong-script errors for German and other non-English dictation
Same private, on-device experience — no audio ever leaves your Mac
