iPhone test builds improve recording controls, editing, interruption handling and language behavior.
Recording and interruptions
- Clearer microphone handoffs between the recording bar and VoicePad Direct, with larger-text support and screen-reader state announcements.
- Brief notices appear above the recording bar.
- Calls, Siri and other apps taking the microphone end dictation through the normal stop process.
- Audio recovery survives changes to the app's storage location, and temporary dictation audio is cleaned up after a session.
- Opening VoicePad leaves existing music playing.
Editing, history and language
- Reader and History have clearer layouts, accessible editing, failed-save messages, and clearer playback and audio-clearing results.
- Repairs cover Direct history saving, Pro controls and speech-model handling.
- The saved app language applies at launch, and language changes reach the interface immediately.
- Text processing is applied consistently throughout dictation, including the final segment and keyboard dictation. Additional native translations still need review.
Availability
Development update — September–October 2026. These changes are integrated in test builds. Final checks and the matching public release versions and dates are still being verified; availability depends on the build.
