Weesper Neon Flow

Changelog

Latest updates, features, and improvements to Weesper Neon Flow. See what's new in each version.

Version 1.5.0

✨ New Features

  • Windows GPU acceleration — Transcription on Windows now runs on Vulkan-capable GPUs when available, with automatic detection at launch for dramatically faster processing.
  • French consent flow — The checkout experience now includes locale-aware consent acknowledgements to align with French privacy requirements.

🚀 Improvements

  • Cleaner transcriptions — Stronger protection against prompt echo in the speech-to-text pipeline for more reliable dictation output.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a rare crash during silence trimming on very short recordings.
  • Improved email delivery reliability for payment confirmations, trial notifications, and subscription events.
  • Updated bundled dependencies with the latest security patches.

Version 1.4.13

🚀 Improvements

  • Upgraded Speech Engine — Updated Whisper transcription stack with simplified GPU acceleration on macOS for faster and more accurate dictation
  • More Reliable Text Insertion — Hardened the text injection mechanism on both macOS and Windows, with better recovery when the target application is slow to respond
  • Updated Dependencies — Refreshed all third-party libraries to their latest secure versions

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Windows version not being detected correctly in system information (was always showing "unknown")
  • Fixed activation window not opening when email verification is required
  • Fixed clipboard restoration on macOS after paste-based text insertion

Version 1.4.12

🚀 Improvements

  • Faster Dictation Start — Reduced latency when starting dictation, with speech engine pre-warming on Windows for near-instant readiness

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed clipboard paste fallback on macOS not handling special characters (escape sequences, accented letters) correctly

Version 1.4.11

🚀 Improvements

  • Online Help Center — The app now links directly to the comprehensive Help Center on the website, with guides and troubleshooting available in 6 languages
  • Dictionary Escape Sequences — Use \n and \t in custom dictionary written forms for line breaks and tabs

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an inaccurate description of punctuation voice commands across all 13 languages

Version 1.4.10

🚀 Improvements

  • Faster Dictation for More Users — Improved speech engine fallback logic so more dictations use the fast VAD-accelerated path. Previously, up to 40% of dictations could fall back to a slower processing mode; the engine now recovers automatically when the voice detection model is temporarily unavailable
  • Smarter Short Audio Handling — Very short recordings (accidental hotkey taps) are now detected earlier, avoiding unnecessary processing and reducing wasted CPU cycles
  • More Reliable Licensing — Strengthened subscription and activation state synchronization. Lifetime purchases made as a guest are now correctly recognized, and license validation is more resilient to transient network issues

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an edge case where subscription status could temporarily desync after switching between devices or restarting the app
  • Fixed an issue where lifetime purchases made without an existing Stripe customer account were not immediately activated
  • Improved crash diagnostics with structured classification, making it easier to identify and fix issues faster in future updates

  • Faster & More Reliable Updates — Automatic updates are now delivered through a new global distribution network (Cloudflare R2) for faster downloads worldwide

🚀 Improvements

  • Better memory management and simultaneous recording handling for smoother dictation
  • More robust transcription pipeline when switching engines mid-use
  • Strengthened voice activity detection (VAD) with better edge-case handling

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where long recordings (40s+) with the Fn key would not stop on release, producing abnormally long transcriptions
  • Fixed audio buffer contamination when switching models, which could produce corrupted transcriptions
  • Fixed embedded transcription engine path in the packaged application
