Completely Redesigned App - Every screen rebuilt with a cleaner, calmer look — and full dark mode that follows your Windows theme, with a manual override in Settings
New Interactive Onboarding - A guided first-run experience where you do your first dictation in a safe practice box before going live
Processing Indicator - The mic dot now turns blue while your words are being transcribed, so you always know what's happening: red is listening, blue is working, green is ready
In-App Feedback - Rate the app and report problems directly from inside Talkativ, right when they happen
Microphone Troubleshooting - If no sound reaches us, the app now tells you which microphone it was listening to (helpful when a Bluetooth headset steals the mic)
Improvements
The microphone indicator now checks itself and instantly self-repairs if Windows ever hides it after sleep — no more disappearing dot
Genius Mode rebuilt from the ground up for reliability — no more stuck or double-triggered sessions
Error messages rewritten in plain, human language with a one-tap way to report issues
Plan upgrades now charge the fair prorated difference immediately, with the exact amount shown before you confirm
If a subscription payment fails, your plan is no longer interrupted while the payment retries — and the app tells you clearly
New privacy controls in Settings, including a toggle for sharing anonymised usage recordings
