Made in v1.2.7 - v1.2.7.4

We've now released one of our most requested features—smart insertions!

Now, when dictating into an existing text box, Willow is cognizant of where you're dictating and automatically adds syntax as appropriate. After a period, Willow capitalizes the first letter of the new sentence. If in a current sentence, Willow is now aware of commas, semicolons, quotes, and other syntax that may affect punctuation.

We’ve had to briefly disable this feature in Electron apps such as Linear, Notion, and others just because there are slight formatting errors that haven't been caught by our current system. But… for the majority of text areas that you have on your computer, Willow can correctly insert text in a very smart manner!

If Willow messes up / your cursor wasn’t in a text box, you are now able to paste your previous transcript from the top menu!

Bug Fixes / QOL Updates

1. Fixed bug when multiple dictionary replacement keys were identical, Willow would crash (should’ve added this safeguard before)

2. Added the ability to submit bug reports in-app

3. Toasts now display the correct error message

4. Fixed visual issue for people with 6+ referrals (you go, overachievers)!

5. Fixed auth-expiration, especially when logging in from multiple locations (very common with team plans)

6. Migrated where transcripts are saved on the community—used to be saved in the Documents directory, but is now in Application Support. There would be a severe edge case, where if iCloud storage was full, the Documents directory would be emptied, causing crashes to the Willow system.

7. Disabled double-tapping after hands-free

8. Fixed the issue where when tapping on the status bar icon, the sidebar and main page would not be synced correctly.

9. Reset Password flow now works correctly (yikes)

10. Fixed issue with audio not working on input devices with more than 2 input channels (downmixing with power)

11. Fixed bug with the “Upgrade Premium” button not routing to the correct page

We added some fun easter eggs too! Click around on the Willow UI… :p

As always, keep dictating, and have a great week!
