Version 1.10 (2024-10-06)

  • Multiple Monitors are now supported for all mouse control methods.
  • Added several new keys that can be used by the keyPress and keyRepeat command functions.
  • Added a new logRedaction setting to the settings.yaml file. Set this field to true if you do not want dictation transcripts saved to the log file in the application directory (log.txt). Note that the mode and command names found in transcripts are still logged.
  • Improved reliability of "go back", "go forward", and "reload page" commands in the "chrome" mode. These commands were updated to use new browser-specific key presses. This allows you to use these commands even while focus is in an editable field.
  • Added new media commands to the "basic" mode to play and pause music/videos and to adjust volume.
  • Added new print screen commands to the "windows" mode for taking screenshots.
  • Created the Chrome Optimizations help page with guidance for reducing popups while navigating.

Version 1.09 (2024-09-04)

  • Created the new "reload settings" command to reload number and mode settings files while the application is running. This is useful to quickly test customizations. For more information, say "open help global".
  • Changed the auto scrolling commands in the basic mode (and the associated function) to accept an optional number of seconds for scroll period. Say "open help basic" for details.
  • Modified the "title" command to not capitalize certain words like "the", unless the word is the first or last argument to the command. You can customize the word list with the titleSkip setting in the config\settings.yaml file.
  • The application now detects when duplicate commands from multiple modes have become active, and it opens an error popup message.
  • Fixed the user interface utterance history to not automatically scroll down when it is in focus.
  • Fixed microphone button recovery when microphone is disconnected while the microphone is paused.
  • Improved error handling when the application is installed in a directory that does not provide read and write file access.
  • Improved reliability of "other window" command for Windows 11.
  • Improved "show" and "mouse position" commands for high pixel density monitors.
  • Created new foot pedals guide.
  • Various improvements to documentation.

Version 1.08 (2024-08-15)

  • Changed the keyboard shortcuts for the "chrome" mode Vimium commands: "show links", "show force links", and "show new links". The new keyboard shortcuts avoid conflicts with some popular web applications. If you are upgrading from a prior version of Utterly Voice, you will need to update your "custom key mappings" in Vimium settings to use F20 and F21 keys. See the updated Vimium documentation for instructions.
  • Dropped support for Windows 8. This was necessary to support scaling changes as described below.
  • Decreased the default size of the user interface and provided a userInterfaceHeight general setting for custom sizes.
  • Created a labelFontHeight general setting for the mouse commands ("show" and others) label font size.
  • Upgraded the application to handle scaling (DPI) changes for high pixel density monitors.
  • Upgraded mode and command help to use local HTML files and the default web browser. This allows for easy printing of command help. Say "open help" or "open help basic" to try it out.
  • Added the new commands-only interpreter state. When enabled, only commands are processed and normal typing is ignored. See the "Commands Only" section in the Interpreter State document.
  • Added a new "context" command to the basic mode for typing a single word that is difficult to recognize without additional context. See the "Context" section of the Improve Recognition document.
  • You can now click the microphone signal indicator to open the setup window. This is useful when your microphone settings are very far off and utterances are not being processed.
  • Changed the "activate mode" and "deactivate mode" commands to just "activate" and "deactivate".
  • Changed "type [key]" commands like "type home" to "press [key]" for improved recognition. The only exception to this is "type home/end" have been changed to "go home/end".
  • Created the new "advanced" mode for more efficient text editing. Say "open help advanced" for command descriptions. To activate this mode, say "activate advanced". To automatically activate this mode when the application starts, change the initiallyActive field in the config/modes/advanced.yaml file to true.
  • Renamed the following "basic" mode commands, some of which have moved to "advanced":
    • "quid" > "question mark"
    • "bang" > "exclamation mark"
    • "clear left" > "backspace"
    • "clear right" > "delete"
    • "open parent" > "open parentheses"
    • "close parent" > "close parentheses"
    • "undo that" > "scratch that"
  • Simplified command settings by making "biasFactor" an optional field with a default value of 1.2.
  • Modified the "escape" command to accept multiple words rather than just one word.
  • Fixed number function to handle "0.0".
  • Fixed the "lower" and "upper" commands so that they can be used to issue keyboard shortcuts manually while a modifier key is being held.
