OpenTypeless v1.1.48

This release focuses on making OpenTypeless feel faster, clearer, and more reliable across the everyday voice workflow.

Highlights

• Typeless-style hotkeys

  • macOS dictation now defaults to Fn.
  • Windows dictation now defaults to Right Alt.
  • Ask Anything has its own shortcut: Fn+Space on macOS and Right Alt+Space on Windows.
  • Linux keeps Ctrl+/ for dictation and Ctrl+. for Ask Anything because Right Alt global handling is less reliable across Linux desktop environments.

• Ask Anything feels lighter

  • Ask now records through the capsule instead of showing a second recording panel.
  • Results appear in a compact floating note.
  • The answer can be copied directly.
  • Clicking outside the note dismisses it.

• Cleaner account and upgrade experience

  • Upgrade now uses the same quiet product UI as the rest of the app.
  • Pricing, plan status, and benefits are easier to scan without adding extra setup choices.

• Better capsule flow

  • The capsule now has clearer preparing, recording, transcribing, polishing, Ask recording, Ask thinking, and output states.
  • Idle capsule visibility can be controlled from General settings, the capsule context menu, or the tray.

• Writing styles and scenes

  • Added polish styles: Minimal, Clean, Structured, and Professional.
  • Added built-in scenes, local custom scenes, scene activation metadata, and import/export.
  • Scenes make reusable writing behavior easier to manage without turning Settings into a heavy editor.

• Selected text workflows

  • Ask and polish can use selected text as context.
  • Selected text is truncated before AI requests for privacy and cost control.
  • The app separates destructive edits from non-destructive questions more carefully.

• Dictionary and correction rules

  • The custom dictionary is now paired with local correction rules.
  • This helps fix recurring transcription mistakes and domain-specific phrases.

• More reliable hotkeys and output

  • Hotkey registration now has clearer status, collision checks, retry behavior, and rollback.
  • Output strategies include keyboard simulation, clipboard paste, copy-only fallback, and Windows SendInput.
  • Clipboard restore and output diagnostics are safer and easier to understand.

• Local and BYOK improvements

  • Added macOS Apple Speech as a built-in local speech provider.
  • Improved custom Whisper/self-hosted STT diagnostics.
  • BYOK secrets are stored in the OS credential vault where available.

Notes

• Windows builds may still be unsigned depending on release secrets.
• macOS and Linux release artifacts are expected to use the configured signing keys.
• English and Chinese UI copy are complete for this release. Other bundled locale files have full key coverage, but some newer advanced feature copy may still display English fallback text.
• Cloud remains optional. BYOK and local/self-hosted paths continue to work without OpenTypeless cloud services.
