- ORKA VOICE now keeps the microphone ready from your first dictation
onward, so pressing Fn starts instantly every time — no more waiting for
Bluetooth headphones to reconnect between takes. A new “Release
microphone when idle” setting (Settings → Audio) restores the old
behavior if you prefer your Bluetooth audio quality back between
dictations.
- If your selected microphone stops delivering audio (dead Bluetooth
route, virtual audio device, iPhone Continuity mic), dictation now
automatically falls back to your Mac’s built-in microphone instead of
failing.
- Dictations can no longer be silently lost while a microphone is still
connecting: a real attempt that captured nothing now shows a clear
error, and a tiny tail-end fragment of a longer sentence is never pasted
as if it were the whole thing.
- The app can no longer freeze on audio-system stalls — all audio-device
communication moved off the interface thread.
- The Settings microphone test now honestly reports a dead selected device
instead of passing via the fallback.
