Full Release Notes
# FluidVoice v1.6.7 ## Changes - Parakeet transcription is now up to 2x faster on Apple silicon. M4 and M5 see the largest gains, while M1-M3 see roughly 1.3-1.5x faster transcription. - Improved microphone reliability during device changes and rapid start/stop by using the safer direct Core Audio capture path for everyone. - Reduced recording startup latency by removing unnecessary teardown and first-audio scheduling delays. - Prevented media playback from getting stuck after dictation when Now Playing is slow or settings change mid-recording. - Kept FluidVoice microphone selection independent from the macOS default, with a safe built-in fallback. - Fixed an issue where AirPods media controls could stop working while FluidVoice was enabled. - Reduced first-word capture latency from about 350 ms to under 100 ms, reducing the chance of missing the first few words. - Prevented temporary dictation pasteboard writes from appearing in supported clipboard managers' history. - Made the advanced prompt editor scrollable so its actions remain accessible in smaller windows. - Prevented duplicate update prompts and repeated installation attempts within a running app, with clear download and restart progress. ## Contributors Thanks to @AshwanthramKL, @postoso, and @floze-the-genius for audio, clipboard, and prompt-editor improvements in 1.6.7.
