Release notes

- Fixed an issue where microphone audio was detected but speech was not processed when Apple Speech delayed its final result. - Improved recognition reliability for short utterances and sessions stopped immediately after speaking. - Fixed call language selections resetting to their previous values when continuing a saved session. - Improved Profile consistency when reviewing or continuing an existing session. - Removed the History toggle. Session history is now always saved because it is required to generate reliable work outcomes from conversations. - Reduced unnecessary recognition timer resets to improve performance and prevent delayed transcription.

This release gives every important call a clearer next step. WHAT'S NEW - Turn a completed Session into one of six practical work results: Concise summary, Meeting notes, Decisions & action items, Follow-up email, CRM notes, or Technical handoff. - Review decisions, actions, risks, and open questions against their supporting transcript moments before using them. - Confirm action items and continue in Work Inbox, where you can track status, owner, due date, reminders, or start a follow-up Session. - Copy a reviewed result or export it as Markdown, Actions CSV, calendar events, or an email draft. SIMPLER SESSIONS - Start with the defaults and add context only when it helps. Session settings remain optional overrides and do not change your Profile. - Open Session Settings sections by clicking either the icon or its label. - Result creation remains manual by default. You can optionally create one reviewable result after Stop, and nothing is published or sent automatically. CLEARER PLAN USAGE - Summaries and saved work results continue to share the existing AI-output allowance included with your plan. Work results do not require a separate allowance. - Plan and account screens now use clearer names for AI-output units and source conversation words. RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE - Improved structured-result compatibility and error handling when creating a result from a completed conversation. - Reduced unnecessary configuration and duplicate interface content so starting and finishing a Session requires fewer steps. - Kept the new result workflow bounded and lightweight, without adding continuous background requests.

Session Data Export - Optionally include saved conversation sessions when exporting TCVoiceAI data. - Transfer transcripts, notes, markers, AI summaries, and generated outputs using a shared Mac and Windows-compatible format. - Session export remains off by default to protect your privacy. - Audio recordings, sign-in credentials, diagnostic data, and device settings are never included. - Imports safely merge sessions without deleting or overwriting matching local sessions. - Improved background processing and validation keep large exports responsive and reliable.

Search Across Work Sessions: - Press Command + F to quickly search your conversation history. - Search within the current Session or across all saved Sessions. - Find matching bilingual transcripts, Session details, saved notes, and AI-generated outputs. - Open a result to jump directly to the matching message, note, or saved output. - Global results are grouped by Session for easier review. Privacy and Performance: - Search runs entirely on your Mac. No conversation content or search query is uploaded. - Background processing and automatic cancellation keep search responsive without interrupting active conversations. - Improved search accessibility and localization across all supported interface languages.

What’s New: - Same-language conversations: Use the same language for both participants to transcribe conversations without translation. - Optional transcript translation: Translate both speakers’ transcripts into another language, or leave this option off for transcription only. Transcription-only sessions do not send translation requests or consume translated-word allowance. - Live mode switching: Switch between Translated voice and Original audio without ending the current session. - Calling app audio setup: Quickly access guided audio configuration for compatible calling apps installed on your Mac.

Important Note: - Same-language sessions use Original audio mode. Translated voice becomes available again when two different conversation languages are selected.
