What's new
This is where we record what changes in the app from one version to the next. The update arrives from RuStore on its own.
Version 0.8.0 — August 2026
The biggest update since the app came out. The heart of it: you now have an account, and the words you buy are no longer tied to one phone.
Account and payment
- Sign in with a code sent to your email, or with Google. No password to invent and remember.
- Purchased words stay yours on any phone you sign in on. Clearing the app or switching phones used to mean starting from zero.
- Word packages are bought inside the app: pay by card, the receipt arrives by email.
- 2000 words as a gift when you first sign in.
The keyboard tells you what is going on
- Out of words: a card appears over the keys with a "Buy more" button, instead of silence.
- No internet: you are told the recording is saved, and one tap opens the list of dictations.
- The five-minute recording limit is now audible. The microphone used to go quiet without a sound, and you could keep talking for nothing.
Nothing gets lost
- Left for another app while the text was being prepared? A notification tells you it is ready.
- Cancelled the recognition? The text still lands in "Dictations". You turned down the insertion, not your own words.
- Lost the network? The recording stays on the phone and can be repeated when the connection is back.
Fixed
- The keyboard opens on the first tap on a text field. The first tap used to sometimes show nothing at all.
- The words remaining are no longer made up when the server cannot be reached.
- One dictated text can no longer be charged twice.
What came before
The version that sat in RuStore until August 2026:
- Dictation in any app: a button on the keyboard, recognition on the server, punctuation and capital letters placed automatically.
- A history of your dictations on the phone.
- A full keyboard: layouts, clipboard, themes, emoji.
- Free words existed, but there was nowhere to buy more: once they ran out, dictation simply stopped working.
- There was no account. The app recognised the phone rather than the person, so clearing the data or switching phones started the count over.
