    ## What's new in 1.6.0: multilingual dictation WhisperType can now dictate in more languages than English. All models run on your phone; you download each one once in settings. ### New languages and models - **Spanish, French and German: Canary 180M Flash** (~207 MB). Writes punctuation and capitals. You select the language; the model always transcribes in that language and never translates. - **Hindi: IndicConformer Hindi** (~198 MB). Writes Devanagari. About 2% character error on 50 real speech clips. It writes plain words, without punctuation. - **Hinglish: Oriserve Hindi2Hinglish Swift**. Writes Hindi speech in Latin script. - **Whisper Small Multilingual** (~375 MB) for other languages.

    ### Better long dictation - Long dictation is split at speech pauses (Silero VAD), so words are not cut in the middle. - Each part keeps a short piece of audio before and after it, so the first and last words are not lost. - Whisper no longer repeats the same phrase in a loop on some languages. ### Keyboard - Fix: the keys showed capitals but typed small letters after you changed fields or moved the cursor. - One "Auto capitalization" setting replaces the two old case settings. - New setting: Enter adds a new line in multi-line fields (off by default). - Faster emoji search. ### Credits Canary 180M Flash weights by NVIDIA (CC-BY-4.0).
