Made in v1.5 – v1.5.4

This was one of our most significant infrastructure upgrades.

⚡ New Speed Engine (Now Default)

• Our re-engineered dictation core is now officially stable. Short-form transcription is near-instant, and streaming output is significantly faster and smoother.

• Removed random filler expressions caused by streaming artifacts.

🏢 Enterprise-Ready Features

• SSO support for seamless enterprise authentication.

• Sync with enterprise-required privacy settings, including daily transcript clears and privacy lock enforcement. Live now (teams.willowvoice.com)

🔐 Reliability & Startup Improvements

• Willow now launches automatically at login — no UI interaction required.

• Authentication persists across restarts correctly (many edge cases covered)

• Pasteboard data no longer leaks into third-party apps like Raycast.

✨ Cleaner Output by Default

• Partial output tags (etc.) and em-dashes are now removed.

• Notifications for AirPod connections are clearer and more consistent.

This was all about taking Willow from “a tool you open” to “a system that’s just there.” Always on, always fast, and ready for enterprise scale.
