Pressay 1.2

Steadier dictation: recordings stay on your device, one-click recovery

  • Dictation recordings stay only on this device and follow your history retention setting. If recognition is interrupted or you cancel, recover the text from the recording in one click.
  • The last few words of a dictation come through more completely, and long dictations finish faster.
  • Pasting into busy apps on Windows is more reliable.

Pressay 1.1

Updated everywhere: a more modern design language

  • A fresh visual design with soft rounded corners, clear hierarchy, and light motion makes the interface simpler and more intuitive.
  • More reliable clipboard writes, with better recognition and refinement of the last words of a dictation.
  • Lower standby memory use on macOS for steadier long-running sessions.

Pressay 1.0

Now on every platform: macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android

Bring dictation and commands into the apps you use every day.

  • Two modes: with no text selected, it’s Dictation Mode; with text selected, it’s Command Mode.
  • Sign in with Google.
  • Sign in with Apple.

Pressay 0.9

Tap once, then speak

One tap starts recording and another ends it — with a personal dictionary that follows your account and a quieter new look.

  • Tap once to start and tap again to stop. Quick thoughts go straight into the current field; open the composer when you want to review longer writing first.
  • Your personal dictionary now syncs across your devices. Only dictionary entries are synced — never the text they were learned from.
  • A new paper, ink, vermilion, and seal-inspired icon and interface make every state calmer and easier to read.

Pressay 0.8

A dictionary that grows on its own

Names and terms you correct in the workspace go into your dictionary, and your next dictation writes them your way.

  • Words you correct in the workspace are added to your dictionary automatically — you are told every time and can undo it, and the dictionary never leaves this device.
  • Your dictionary now changes what you get back: your own spelling is preferred, so you stop fixing the same name twice.
  • History keeps only the text you finally delivered, audio is never written to disk, and how long history stays is yours to set.

Pressay 0.7

Edit your draft by voice

Say what you want changed and Pressay rewrites it in place — cleaner writing and new sound cues for faster feedback.

  • A new Edit by Voice button in the workspace: give any instruction in any language — rewrite, expand, translate, look something up — and the result goes straight into the editor.
  • New semantic sound cues: hear at once when you can start speaking, when refinement is done, and when something needs you — no need to watch the screen.
  • Refined text follows written norms more faithfully: paragraphs, lists, and numbers keep what you said and only tidy how it is written.

Pressay 0.6

Faster, steadier continuous dictation

A rebuilt dictation engine and an interface that follows where you write.

  • A new sentence-by-sentence refinement engine finalizes each sentence as you speak, and long dictations stay just as fast from the first minute to the last.
  • Recording starts the instant you press, so the first words are never lost.
  • The capsule and workspace now follow the window you are writing into, across apps and screens.

Pressay 0.5

More transparent and easier to start

A rebuilt first-run experience and a tighter audio-data boundary.

  • Practice both hold-to-insert and tap-to-workspace with a real dictation.
  • Raw audio goes directly to the selected speech provider. It does not pass through Pressay servers or enter your history.
  • Set a preferred speech recognition service; connection failures can move to the backup before audio starts.

Pressay 0.4

One shortcut, two ways to write

Quick thoughts go straight to the current app; longer thoughts stay in a workspace until you confirm.

  • Hold, speak, and release to insert directly.
  • Tap once to open the workspace and continue dictating.
  • Live refinement removes verbal clutter and follows natural corrections.

Pressay 0.3

Live refinement you can see

Dictation became faster to read and easier to trust while you are still speaking.

  • Stable sentences and changing recognition use clear visual levels.
  • Pauses freeze completed sentences instead of making the whole draft jump.
  • A redesigned Hub makes status and recent activity easier to scan.

Pressay 0.2

Longer, more reliable dictation

Better long-form limits, input targeting, and update handling.

  • Dictate for up to 20 minutes with warnings near the limit.
  • Follow the most recently focused field as you move between apps.
  • Fall back to the clipboard when a target cannot be written safely.

Pressay 0.1

The first Pressay release

A first step toward speaking instead of typing in any app.

  • Start voice input with a global shortcut.
  • Turn natural speech into text ready to use.
  • Keep generated text in local history.
