What’s new in OptionSpace

Everything that is new, improved or fixed, newest first. The app offers each update by itself; to check now, open Settings → About.

Version 1.0.2

Latest

More ways to make dictation your own

A new Advanced page in Settings, and a quick way to tell us what you think.

The new Advanced page in the OptionSpace settings: where screenshots and copied text appear, stop after silence, remove filler words, and restore the clipboard after pasting.

New

  • Settings has a new Advanced page. Choose where screenshots and copied text appear in your sentence: where you pressed the shortcut, where you finished selecting, or at the end.
  • Dictation can finish by itself. Pick 5, 10 or 30 seconds, and when you stay quiet for that long, OptionSpace stops and pastes your text.
  • Switch on “Remove filler words” and “um”, “uh” and accidentally repeated words are left out of your text.
  • Send us feedback from Settings → About. Type your message and send it. It is anonymous, so we cannot reply; for questions, write to support@optionspace.app.

Improved

  • After pasting your text, OptionSpace can put back whatever you had copied before, so nothing on your clipboard is lost.
  • You decide whether the speech model stays in memory, so dictation starts at once, or is released while you are not dictating, which frees about 600 MB.
  • One button puts all settings back to their defaults. Your history, vocabulary and licence are kept.

Fixed

  • “What’s new” and “Privacy” in Settings → About now open this page and the privacy policy. Before, they did nothing.

Version 1.0.1

A tidier menu

Fixed

  • The small icon next to “Settings” in the menu-bar menu is gone, so the menu looks the way it should.

Version 1.0

Hello, OptionSpace

The first version: dictation for people who write software.

New

  • Press ⌥ Space in any app, say what you mean, and your words are pasted where you were typing.
  • Add screenshots (⌥ S), copied text or images (press ⌘C twice) and file paths (⌥ P) while you talk.
  • Your speech is turned into text on your Mac. Your audio never leaves it.
  • Teach OptionSpace the names and terms you use, so it spells them right.
  • Updates arrive by themselves: OptionSpace tells you when a new version is ready.
