Dictation now ends when you stop speaking, rather than a fixed moment after you let go of the key, so the last word or two of a sentence no longer goes missing from the text.

Bluetooth headsets and other microphones that hand their audio over late keep the end of what you said. Before, the delay came out of the recording itself — a Chinese sentence arrived with its final characters gone, and an English one sometimes arrived with a plausible wrong word in their place.

The app can tell you when there is a new version. It checks once a day and puts a row in the sidebar; nothing is downloaded or installed until you press it, and a switch in Settings stops the check entirely.

The dictation shortcut can now be Fn, a single right ⌘, or ⌘⌥ — keys the app used to ignore because they are not shortcuts in the ordinary sense. Settings records whichever one you press, including keys such as かな on a Japanese keyboard.

A key the app cannot listen for now says so at the moment you set it, in its own words, and the shortcut you already had keeps working. Before, it looked saved and then nothing happened, on that launch or any later one.

Holding the shortcut and pressing another key cancels the dictation instead of ending it, so half a second of room noise no longer arrives in whatever that combination just opened.

The pill is only as wide as what it is showing, and there is almost nothing left in it to read: a spinner while the engine is working, × for the key that cancels, and nothing at all once the text has gone through.

The window is in Japanese and Chinese as well as English.
