TypeWhisper v1.0.7

TypeWhisper 1.0.7 is a stable Windows feature and reliability release focused
on better transcription output, faster recovery, safer local models, and more
capable integrations.

Highlights

• Added Smart Formatting, regular-expression dictionary rules, short-utterance
  punctuation, spoken-number normalization, and regional German output for
  Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and neutral written German.
• Added interactive usage statistics with daily activity, language and app
  breakdowns, keyboard-accessible details, and retention-independent totals.
• Improved immediate dictation startup, automatic recovery after interrupted
  sessions, and clipboard restoration when text insertion fails.
• Added unified local-model download requirements, retry and removal controls,
  optional Hugging Face authentication, and revision-aware license acceptance.

Integrations and Models

• Added local Cohere Transcribe support and hardened the packaged Sherpa ONNX,
  cuDNN, Whisper.cpp, Granite Speech, and Supertonic TTS runtimes.
• Added recorder-specific transcription engine and model overrides for long
  recordings without changing the main dictation model.
• Added configurable request timeouts per OpenAI Compatible profile and safer
  Unicode, reasoning, and thinking-content handling.
• Redesigned Integrations around Installed, Discover, and Manual sources with
  trusted registry artifacts, community feeds, compatibility diagnostics,
  update-state details, and repair actions.
• Added provider-aware dictionary budgets and stronger workflow input and
  output boundaries for plugin integrations.

Windows Experience

• Added Simplified Chinese localization and expanded localized model,
  integration, and recorder controls.
• Added an About section with project, support, documentation, and license
  links.
• Displayed History timestamps in local time while preserving UTC storage.
• Reworked Script Runner editing and made mouse-based dictation hotkeys safer.
• Improved onboarding model update state and local-model acceleration details.

Reliability Improvements

• Serialized recorder start and stop transitions so concurrent API requests
  cannot overwrite active sessions or leak model scopes.
• Made local-model progress, cancellation, removal, selection persistence, and
  service disposal safe across concurrent operations.
• Hardened plugin discovery, compatibility checks, package verification,
  rollback, path validation, and broken-install reporting.
• Preserved existing text and selection state across workflow processing and
  insertion recovery paths.

Validation Notes

• Verify stable Velopack channels win-x64 and win-arm64.
• Confirm x64 and ARM64 installers, portable ZIPs, full nupkg packages,
  RELEASES files, and JSON manifests are present without -rc or -daily
  suffixes.
• Validate both published portable ZIPs and record the Authenticode status of
  the published installers.
• Publish Microsoft Store package 1.0.7.0 and WinGet package 1.0.7
  separately from the GitHub release.
