🎉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.

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.
