🎉Early Beta Release of BlabbyAI Windows App is Here!
Hey Voice Typers! We’re excited to announce that the early beta version of BlabbyAIWindows app is finally here! Want to Try the Beta Now? Download the Beta Version Your enthusiasm and support have motivated us to bring this to you as soon as possible. However, there’s something important you should know before downloading: ⚠️About the Warning Message The app is now signed with a valid code-signing certificate. However, since it's a new release, Windows may still show a warning message. This is normal—Windows takes some time to fully trust new certificates. If you're comfortable proceeding, you can follow the steps below to bypass the warning. Here’s how to bypass the "unknown publisher" warning: If you encounter any unexpected behavior while using the app, don’t worry! You can easily close the app from the system tray to get things back to normal. We’d love to hear your feedback to make the app even better! Feel free to Request a feature / report a bug in the dedicated feedback portal. https://blabbyai.featurebase.app/ Thanks for being part of this journey! We can’t wait to hear what you think.

Ubuntu/Gnome extension
it would be extremely helpful if you guys create an desktop application or gnome extension to get ability to input by voice everywhere in text input on the system! And I can participate on that

Bug with Shortcut on Desktop App
In the Windows desktop app, Blabby sometimes activates mistakenly when pressing Ctrl plus any key (or just a few of the common shortcuts, I don’t know) on the keyboard (instead of just Ctrl + Space). This is pretty annoying since it overwrites Ctrl + V and Ctrl + C for example. The behaviour usually goes away on its own or when you restart Blabby.

The black dot has disappeared.
I wanted to remove the black dot on one of the sites, but now I can no longer make it reappear. I've tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, disabling or re-enabling it from the extension itself, but on this particular site, it refuses to reappear. I don't know how to get it back. the website is (chat gpt)

E button annoying.
I'm considering deleting this app due to a frustrating issue where the 'E' key often malfunctions while typing on web pages, seemingly due to this application limiting my keyboard functionality.

The option to turn it off on certain sites
On some websites, you honestly don’t need this extension at all, since there’s nowhere to type anything or any forms for adding content—nothing like that. So, to avoid wasting extra RAM and CPU power, I really think it’d be a great idea to let people disable the extension on sites where it’s totally unnecessary. That way, it won’t put any pointless strain on the computer.

Support for multiple shortcut bindings (to support convenient start/stop dictation on various peripherals)
Use Case Description Thanks to Blabby, I've begun using voice as my main form of typing. This has been a very significant change! One of the first things that I wanted to figure out was how to make it convenient to actually start and stop my voice recordings. Of course one can just reach for the toolbar on the screen but eventually this becomes a bit challenging especially when working on documents when you don't want to have to leave your cursor position to hit the toolbar The first hardware that I implemented was a custom USB button a bit like this ( I figured that the standard way to “talk” in places like control room settings is a push to talk button but USB support for those is not really a thing!) I then had to figure out what's the best way to bind this as a shortcut. The strategy that I used was to bind it to F13 which is recognized on most operating systems but not present on most keyboards or built into most shortcuts. I figured it was a good choice for creating a key binding that wouldn't conflict and so far it's worked out. Secondary Shortcuts After doing this for a few months, I began to think that it would actually be helpful to have not just one way of starting and stopping dictation, but a few methods, all within easy reach. So I added a second shortcut which was binding a button on my mouse to F13 which in turn binds to Blabby Tertiary Keybinding / Shortcut! The icing on the cake from my perspective would be to also have a button on my keyboard. The only issue is that: 1) It doesn’t have a key for F13 2) I could remap a key I don’t use (say the mute button) onto F13 but … Doing these kind of things on Linux, in my experience, always ends up being way more complicated than you expect. What Would Be A Good Solution the ability to map multiple shortcut keys in Blabby so that one didn't have to just use a single key button for their shortcut and could bind it to a few different macro keys to support different hardware devices as I've described above.

The ability to create a custom toolbar
Hey! I moved over to the larger widget item as it's useful when the shortcut binding isn't working for some reason. The only thing I would change about it if I could would be to hide display of the second element (basic fixes mode on). Yes, I'm being extremely picky! But the other widget options all do slightly different things. Long term however it might actually be cool to be able to customise these widget elements although I can imagine it might be very challenging to support For example I might want to roll out a custom recording widget with one button for my everyday use and another that has a binding to a mode like: “ Translate from English to Hebrew” (etc). Thought I'd put it out there as an idea anyway. Thanks for the excellent work in maintaining the product - the stability fix seems to be holding well.

The option to choose different neural models for the rewriting feature.
Question: What model is currently set by default for the rewriting function? I’d really like it if, just like with transcription, we had the option to choose different models for rewriting. For example, as someone who’s been actively using GPT-4.1 and used GPT-4o for a long time, I can tell you that GPT-4.1 is way better than GPT-4o.

The return of the whitespace!
Just thought I would let you know, same thing as before, one character of trailing white space. Oddly it seemed to go away for a while. If it sheds any light on this - I trigger STT with a keyboard shortcut almost entirely (ie, I almost never click the little button). perhaps the keyboard shortcut is adding to the character string. Also: It's only a minor nuisance and far from a dealbreaker but I thought I'd keep up with their reporting

The ability to customize your own prompt for the new rewriting feature.
This new feature, rewriting, that you guys just added is honestly super cool. There’s a ton of ways it could be put to use, but I wish there was an option to set up your own custom prompt. When you're writing, you end up dictating the same tasks over and over, when you could just put them in the prompt once and then use shorter cues to hit the mark, instead of repeating yourself every time you want something rewritten.

Option to turn off the special icon that pops up when you highlight text for the new rewriting feature.
It’d be great if there were an option in this new rewriting feature to turn the special icon on or off when you select text: Honestly, it’s kind of annoying as is. Personally, I’d much rather use hotkeys instead of having that icon pop up every single time.

Pause and cancel buttons
Great work with all the improvements! Here are a couple that I can’t believe I didn’t think of before: Pause: The ability to pause a recording before finishing the recording. Cancel: The ability to cancel a recording / discard the cache and start again.

I'd love to hear more sound effects when transcription is activated or deactivated.
It would be great to add more sounds to activate and deactivate transcription, because when you activate transcription hundreds of times a day, these same sounds start to get pretty boring. Of course, this option is not super important, but overall it adds a pleasant feeling to using this great product.

Display mode: tally light
Here is another UI idea that might actually be kind of cool. A “tally light,” in broadcasting, is a little light that illuminates when a camera/source is live. Another really minimal display mode could be a tally light display that relies entirely on the user utilizing shortcuts to start and stop the dictation. A black dot could be used when the source is not recording, and it could illuminate red when the source is in use. A couple of ideas for UI color coding are attached.

Display mode: corner-bound 'dot'
My favourite display mode is the dot, and in most cases it is nice, but sometimes it does get in the way of UI elements. I was trying to think of a way to keep the convenience and minimal UI while minimizing the amount of times it obstructs or obscures. One thought that came to mind is the dot, but instead of following the text elements, it is bound to a particular corner of the screen. Perhaps bottom left or bottom right might be the best preference depending on whether people are mostly browsing in left to right or right to left.

Make standalone app work with Chrome extension.
It's quite often that you copy and paste stuff between different tabs, especially if you work with prompts. And it's quite often that you first want to dictate something and then paste a block of code or just some copied thing. And if you use the stand-alone Windows app, then your dictation will override the current content and the clipboard. In general, it would be nice to have an ability to add like an “exclusion” apps to windows app so Chrome extension could capture control+space hotkey first

Yearly pricing option
Hey, Sorry if this is something that I'm just not seeing, or maybe I signed up for the monthly option to test it out. It would be really nice to have the ability to pay for this yearly. For a lot of small business folks like me, even if there’s no monetary incentive to do so, it’s often easier to do yearly subs for good tools just to avoid the hassle of having to capture and account for the receipts every month, etc.
