FluidVoice v1.5.12

What's New

Reworked dictation into two configurable shortcuts, each with its own custom prompt( AI ON ) and just raw transcription ( AI OFF) as needed.
Unified AI on/off and custom prompts to avoid cofusion. Now AI prompt equates to AI enhancement off. So you can toggle AI on/off on the fly with a shortcut as needed or add a separate shortcut for OFF and ON!
Fixed overlay actions staying functional after the main settings window closes.
Added a compact Backup & Restore utility in Preferences for quicker export and import access between devices or for backup!
Added a configurable Cancel Recording shortcut in Settings, defaulting to Escape, so recording cancel behavior can be remapped.
Added microphone switching to the menu bar for quicker input-device changes without opening Settings.

First Voice app to add Cohere Transcribe as a new speech model option. Very accurate with punctuations and numbers. But a little slower. Give it a try and let me know how you like it! ( 14 languages but needs manual selection)
Added Parakeet Flash (Beta), an even faster English-only local streaming model for low-latency live dictation.
Improved Cohere performance with split Neural Engine/GPU execution and async chunk prefetch.
Fixed Cohere model downloads and transcription failures.
Added manual language selection for Cohere in Voice Engine settings.
Added stronger validation for external Cohere artifacts so mismatched model contracts fail earlier and more clearly.
Added deeper Parakeet Flash diagnostics for cache resolution, missing model files, and download/load verification to make stuck Loading model... failures easier to trace.

Added OGG support for file transcription uploads and drag-and-drop.
Expanded meeting transcription format support with broader macOS-native audio and video compatibility.

Added manual backup export and import for app settings, prompt profiles, transcription history, and stats, with API keys excluded from backup files.
Synced microphone selection state between the menu bar and Settings.
Made Launch at startup more robust.
Fixed API key authentication for localhost and other local model endpoints that still require an Authorization header.
Fixed the top notch overlay so it shows the active prompt name correctly during prompt-mode recording.
Fixed shortcut reassignment so pressing an already-assigned shortcut rebinds it cleanly instead of triggering the live recording action.
Fixed modifier-only shortcuts so multi-modifier combos like fn + control can be recorded and matched correctly.
