Improvements​

• Maintenance & notification banners — The app now shows banners for upcoming maintenance windows and account notifications so you stay informed without checking elsewhere.
• Create account & forgot password on the login page — You can now access the links to create a new account or reset your password right from the login screen.
• Audio quality warnings — When your recording quality may have affected your transcription, a warning now appears on that history entry.
• Enterprise certificate support — Haidy now trusts certificates installed by your organization, so it works in enterprise environments without extra setup.
• Better audio processing — The audio engine has been upgraded for improved performance.

Fixes​

• Server switching works reliably — Changing your API server on the login page is now correctly saved and applied.

Improvements​

• Better audio, better transcriptions — We've fine-tuned how Haidy captures audio, so your recordings come through clearer and your transcriptions are more accurate. Windows users will especially notice the difference!

• Updated design — We've polished the look and feel to better match our brand, making Haidy Dictate feel even more at home on your desktop.

Fixes​

• Stability Improvements — We've squashed bugs around how the app loads your settings and improved error handling across the board, so when something doesn't go as planned, you'll know exactly what's going on.

New Features​

• Dictate product access check with no-access banner: The app now verifies your dictate product license on startup. If you do not have dictate access, a warning banner is shown and dictation is disabled.

Improvements​

• Updated app, tray, and overlay icons: Application icons have been refreshed for a consistent look across macOS and Windows. The overlay now uses a clean, monochrome Haidy icon with a transparent background. On macOS, this same icon is also used as the tray icon, aligning with Apple's design standards.

• Updated overall styling: The app's look and feel has been refreshed to align with brand styles. A loading screen with a pulsing Haidy logo has been introduced when opening the app. On Windows, the title bar now uses theme-aware background colors.

• Single-instance enforcement: The app now actively prevents multiple instances from running simultaneously, with hardened startup handling to avoid race conditions.

Fixes​

• Hotkey and language now persist across restarts: Previously, your preferred dictation hotkey and language sometimes reverted to defaults (F1 / German) after restarting the app. These settings are now correctly saved per user and restored on next launch.

• Stale config no longer overwrites user settings on login: A race condition where an outdated configuration could overwrite your user-scoped settings after logging in has been fixed.

New Features​

• Dictation button with pause/resume/stop: A dedicated dictate button has been added to the main page with full playback controls, giving you complete control over your dictation workflow.

Improvements​

• Better error state handling: Improved error handling and display throughout the app for a more reliable experience.

• Compact login page layout: The login page UI has been streamlined for a cleaner look.

Fixes​

• File drag & drop for audio transcription: In some cases, dragging and dropping audio files for transcription did not work as expected. This has been resolved, so you can now reliably drag & drop your audio files for transcription.

• Reopen from macOS dock: In some rare cases, the app would not reopen properly from the dock after being closed. This has now been fixed, and the app is correctly configured to restore on macOS as expected.

• TTS push-to-talk cleanup: Removed a misleading double-press PTT text.
