Rule Pipeline Sandbox, Whisper GGML Kernels & Text Normalization

September 21, 2026

Git Tag

Interactive rule preview sandbox with word-level diffs, customizable drag-and-drop rule ordering, high-performance Whisper GGML decode kernels and benchraw harness, SQLite-backed persistent dictation drafts, and comprehensive text normalization suite.

Added

Rule Priority Ordering & Live Preview Sandbox

Drag-and-drop custom execution ordering for enhancement rules stored in registry (`enhance.rule_order`).
Interactive live preview sandbox in Settings (Output & Typing) with real-time character and word diffs running against production RuleEnhancer passes.

Added

Whisper GGML Backend & Benchmarking Suite

Integrated Whisper GGML backend kernels for direct native acceleration and decode execution.
Standalone benchmarking harness (`benchraw`) for isolated latency profiling and memory throughput verification.

Added

Persistent Dictation Drafts

Multi-session draft accumulation mode backed by SQLite persistence across application restarts.

Added

Comprehensive Text Normalization Suite

Automated abbreviation expansion ('e.g.', 'i.e.', 'vs.') with user toggles.
Spoken number, ordinal, and currency formatting ('twenty dollars' ➔ '$20', '1000' ➔ '1,000').
Spoken URL and filepath canonicalization ('https colon slash slash github dot com' ➔ 'https://github.com').
Code identifier casing pipeline (PascalCase, camelCase, snake_case) and opt-in profanity filter.

Performance

Rules Pipeline Caching

Pre-cached lookup tables and match-probe early-outs eliminating redundant regex recompilations.

Audio Playback Review, Ring-Buffer Pre-Roll & Parallel VAD

September 14, 2026

Git Tag

Local audio recording playback with interactive word scrubbing and timeline synchronization, 500ms ring-buffer audio pre-roll to prevent initial word clipping, parallel VAD DSP worker thread, and rapid hotkey double-open protection.

Added

Audio Playback for Quality Review

Opt-in 'Save audio recordings' setting (disabled by default) to listen back to your dictations.
High-fidelity 16-bit 16kHz mono PCM WAV storage with interactive word highlighting and click-to-seek.
Scrubber timeline with 0.75x–2.0x speed controls and auto-purge with session deletion.

Added

500ms Ring-Buffer Audio Pre-Roll

Continuous circular buffer retaining opening audio frames before hotkey engagement to eliminate first-syllable cutoff.

Performance

Parallel VAD + Audio Accumulation

Decoupled Voice Activity Detection DSP into a dedicated worker thread with lock-free atomic queries, eliminating capture callback micro-stutters.

Fixed

Rapid Hotkey Press Race Condition

Added state machine guards to prevent duplicate stream arming on fast key taps (<80ms) and guarantee clean audio stream disposal.
