FluidVoice v1.6.2
What's New
- Custom Dictionary can now learn corrections from your voice: say a difficult word a few times, then save the misheard versions as one replacement.
- Fluid Intelligence can now work with much longer text: up to about 2,000 words instead of about 200, so longer outputs are less likely to get cut off.
- Added voice-friendly /commands and app-aware @mentions for Slack and Discord, with autocomplete-friendly spacing.
- Added direct punctuation-to-symbol conversion for spoken punctuation. Try phrases like dash, hyphen, question mark, period, comma, slash, and more. It works without Fluid Intelligence or any AI.
- Added a Help > Change Logs menu item so you can open release notes from inside FluidVoice.
Improvements
- Vocabulary Boosting now explains that it can make transcription slower, so it is easier to decide when to use it.
- Fluid Intelligence settings are easier to understand, with clearer speed controls, safer long-dictation guidance, and simpler reset/delete model actions.
- Fluid Intelligence can enable a speed boost for up to 15% faster output, using about 100 MB more memory.
- Faster recording start is now on by default, so FluidVoice starts listening sooner and is less likely to miss your first word.
- Parakeet v2/v3 transcription is faster, and the overlay closes faster after dictation finishes.
- History copy buttons now look more consistent.
- Auto-converted punctuation is smarter around everyday text, keeping normal phrases, commas near symbols, and slash commands intact while still formatting URL/path-like slashes.
- (@) At sign conversion is limited to coding, terminal, AI, and team-chat apps such as Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Xcode, VS Code, Terminal, iTerm, Warp, Ghostty, Slack, Discord, and Teams.
- Model setup now shows clearer preparation states so downloads do not look stuck while FluidVoice gets the voice engine ready.
Fixes
- Fixed right-side modifier shortcut combinations such as Right Option + Right Shift for primary dictation.
- App updates no longer send existing users back through onboarding, while first-time installs still show onboarding normally.
