In addition, new features of version 1.1 include:

  • 30% faster launch time
  • Display of phonetization progress (now user stoppable, with incremental saving)
  • Group selection to limit the extent of speech recognition
  • Bounded speech recording in a noisy environment (4 seconds)
  • Faster refresh
