Better meeting notes, a richer editor, faster and more reliable recording, and a major reliability pass on Windows.

✨ New

• System audio for meeting notes (Windows) — Meeting notes now capture the other side of the call directly from your system audio, natively. No virtual audio device and no extra setup. If the native path is ever unavailable, Vowen falls back to screen-share audio automatically.

• My Notes tab — The context you type while a meeting records now has its own tab on the finished note. Read and edit your own notes after the fact, then regenerate the summary straight from them.

• Slash commands in the editor — Type / anywhere in a note summary to insert headings, lists, quotes, and more from a quick block menu.

• Images in note summaries — Embed images by URL, file picker, drag-and-drop, or paste. Local images are copied alongside the note so they always render.

• Batch file transcription — Queue several audio or video files and transcribe them all in one pass.

• Multi-select across transcriptions & history — Select multiple items and act on them together — bulk export or delete in a single action.

• Bulk export of selected items — Export a chosen set of notes and transcriptions at once as Markdown, plain text, or PDF, bundled into one archive.

• Subtitle export — Export any timed transcript as SubRip (.srt) or WebVTT (.vtt).

• Editable transcription titles — Rename any manual transcription to keep your list organized.

⚡ Improved

• Faster, more reliable recording — Warm starts, device caching, and a low-latency capture buffer cut the lag before your first word, and very short clips are padded so quick phrases like "commit" are no longer dropped.

• Crash recovery on Windows — Vowen now detects and recovers from renderer and GPU-surface crashes — including a blank window or dead hotkeys after waking from sleep — restoring the app and your keyboard shortcuts without a manual restart.

• Redesigned language selection — A cleaner, faster picker for your dictation languages.

• Refreshed settings & memory pages — A polished pass for a more consistent, less cluttered layout.

• Parallel import of meeting notes — Importing several notes at once now processes them in parallel, so large imports finish much faster.

• Default models shown in notes settings — Meeting-notes settings now surface the default models you have configured.

• Snappier recording indicator — Reduced transition time so it appears and updates more instantly.

• Consistent transcription page — The transcription page now matches the notes page styling.

🐛 Fixed

• Last word no longer cut off — Vowen drains the in-flight audio buffer after you stop, so the final word of a dictation is captured instead of clipped.

• Deepgram, Mistral & xAI — Resolved several transcription bugs across these providers.

• OpenRouter JSON responses — JSON object responses are now preserved when routing AI calls through OpenRouter.

• Real-time preview overlap — Live previews are now scoped to their recording session, so separate recordings no longer bleed into each other.

• Meeting-notes indicator drag — Fixed the drag handler so the indicator moves smoothly and stays where you drop it.

• Import notes drag & drop — Dropped files are now picked up reliably.

• Recording indicator position preserved — The indicator keeps its position when a banner is dismissed.

• Meeting-detected banner respects its setting — It no longer appears when the prompt is turned off.

• Short clips on Parakeet — Very short or empty recordings are discarded cleanly instead of surfacing a transcription error.
