Latest version
Version 0.3.3
Released Jan 18, 2026 - 78.21 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterFixes:
Fixed this extension breaking typing functionality in Google Docs
Known Issues:
Using Google Docs with the Speech to Text Keybind currently does not work (Workaround: You have to use google's built in voice-typing for it to work).
Future Roadmap:
1. Merge the keybind that opens google docs' built in voice-typing with the extension's keybind.
1.1. I might just make an option do merge the keyboard yourself for any website so It's not manually done/updated by me each time, but I'll add the major sites like google docs/ms word keybind merges as defaults in the extension.
2. Possibly adding continuous voice typing (will likely be very hacky and annoying to deal with)
2.1. This isn't really high priority as you can just click the mic again after speaking and the extension already records your audio until you finish talking anyways. Will probably only work well with cloud.
3. Fix the extension not detecting voice if its just a single word and making it work properly in Mozilla's Webspeech color test
4. Add an option to disable the extension for a specific site.
5. Move distil-medium out of experimental category since its decent now.
6. After that, the extension is basically feature complete.
6.1. All of this should come at the same time with the full release of v1.0Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0

Version 0.3.1
Released Jan 18, 2026 - 73.96 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterTLDR: less memory bloat, better per-tab status, fewer stuck transcriptions, a hotkey, and a more reliable “Enter/submit” after dictation.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Version 0.3.0
Released Jan 17, 2026 - 58.54 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterEnhancements
- Dual engine support: choose on-device Whisper or cloud AssemblyAI; store API key; optional prefetch/cache of default model.
- Adaptive VAD and stop logic: smarter noise floor, early “no speech” stop, optional 5s hard cap toggle, grace-window toggle.
- Per-site overrides include engine selection (plus model/language/timeout); popup auto-hides model when cloud engine is chosen and auto-saves changes.
- Options UI: engine card, dev toggles (hide model sections, hide favicons, hard cap, grace, cache model), “Save all” + factory reset; options auto-unload when idle.
- Action icon UX: download/cache/done/cancel badges; cached badge on reuse; brief held error state.
Fixes
- Better cancel/stale-session handling and tighter processing timeout to avoid hangs.
- Stricter handling of silent/too-short/pathological audio as “no audio/unintelligible,” reducing bad results.
- Processing fallback timer and GC/reload behavior to prevent long-running or stuck states.
- Basically its less likely to break....Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
