New

  • Ask across meetings. Search in plain English and get answers linked to the moment something was said.
  • Learns from your fixes. Correct a word after dictating and Blurt offers to add it to your dictionary.
  • Chapters for long calls. Meetings over 30 minutes are split into titled chapters.

Improved

  • Summaries are ready about 40% faster after a call ends on Apple silicon and recent Windows laptops.
  • Speaker names from your calendar now match more reliably when people join late.

Fixed

  • Dictation sometimes pasted twice in Microsoft Word on Windows.
  • The menu bar icon could disappear after waking a Mac from sleep.

  • The Flatpak build now requests only the permissions it needs.

  • Encrypted sync across Mac, Windows and Linux, on Pro. Turn it on in Settings → Sync.
  • Send to Notion and Google Docs from any meeting.

  • Local transcription uses about 30% less memory on 8 GB machines.

Better Windows audio and the command line.

MeetingsWindowsCLI
