MachinesFluent v1.1.5 makes the app easier to follow without keeping your eyes on the dock. Recording, cancellation, notifications, Smart Actions, and Smart Dictation now have short sound cues, with two selectable sound packages and their own volume control. There is also a new optional shortcut for pasting the latest raw History transcript back into any active app. If you mostly care about what you will actually notice, those are the two changes worth knowing about.
What changed
| Area | What changed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sound feedback | Recording start and finish, cancellation, notifications, and successful AI work now have distinct cues. | You can follow the workflow without watching status text. |
| Sound controls | Choose the Clanker or Peanuts sound package, turn sounds off, and set volume from 25% to 100%. | Feedback can match your taste instead of becoming noise. |
| Latest transcript shortcut | An optional hotkey pastes the newest raw History transcript into the active app and leaves it in the clipboard. | Reusing the last thing you said no longer requires opening History. |
Watch v1.1.5 in action
This 68-second demo shows the new sounds inside real work instead of playing them in isolation. It starts with ordinary dictation, then asks a question about a copied image, then uses voice for a web-search question. Listen for the short cues between actions: the point is knowing what happened without staring at the interface.
Dictation, clipboard-image understanding, and web search by voice—with the new audio feedback in context.
Feedback you can hear, not wait for
The new cues cover the moments where uncertainty is annoying: did recording start, did it stop, was the action cancelled, and did the AI task finish? Clanker is the default package, Peanuts gives you another set of sounds, and silence remains an option. Volume is separate from the rest of Windows, so the feedback can stay subtle.
One shortcut for the sentence you just lost
The other useful addition is Paste Last Transcript. Assign the optional shortcut once, then use it whenever you need the newest raw transcript from History in the app you are currently using.
That covers a very ordinary failure: you dictated something useful, but the wrong window had focus, or you need the same sentence in another place. The shortcut pastes the transcript and keeps it in the clipboard, so you can reuse it again without digging through History.
Should you update?
Update to v1.1.5 if you want clearer recording and AI feedback, or if you regularly reopen History just to recover the last thing you said. The sound system is the part you will notice immediately; Paste Last Transcript is the smaller feature that may quietly save more time.
