Hand-free Dictation

We introduced a new feature that allows you to "lock" the recorder and speak without needing to hold the hotkey.

By simply short-pressing the hotkey (less than 0.5 seconds), the recorder will lock, enabling you to speak freely without keeping the hotkey pressed.

Once you're finished, short-press the hotkey again to stop the recorder and begin the transcription process.

The push-to-talk functionality is still available and can be used by pressing and holding the hotkey for longer than 0.5 seconds.

This feature is enabled by default, but you can turn it off in the app settings if needed.

Dictation History

We've added dictation history. You can now access your dictation history from both the menu bar and the app Settings.

Your dictation history is securely stored on your device.

You can seamlessly copy the dictated text by clicking it in the menu bar or the copy button in the app settings.

To update the app, find HoldSpeak in the menubar and click "Check for updates"

Happy Dictating!
