Locked dictation target and exclusive gesture ownership

Uses the same locked target and selected-monitor click path as normal clicking. A middle-finger hold owns input exclusively until release and cannot retrigger when the index finger moves.

Dictation selection correction

Selection now carries the phone’s locked target coordinates and uses exactly the normal click path on the selected display, rather than reading the PC cursor separately. Index-finger movement cannot release or restart a held middle pinch. Tracking reset requires the middle pinch to reopen before another selection. Explicit dictation ownership in movement frames suppresses window, touch, menu, lock and competing click gestures while dictating.

Custom editor insertion

Removed the accessibility edit/value-pattern requirement that rejected Rune even when its editor had keyboard focus. Dictation now uses native Windows foreground and thread keyboard focus for Unicode typing, without editor-specific adapters.

Select and dictate

Point at an input and hold thumb and middle finger. Windows clicks the target once, lets it acquire focus, then acknowledges readiness before Android starts listening. Release inserts the phrase. The phone displays the actual insertion acknowledgement or rejection on Control instead of merely saying the transcript was sent.

Validation

A native integration check using the same Avalonia and AvaloniaEdit versions as Rune confirms actual Unicode text receipt and replacement of a selected range, plus automatic click-to-select before typing. 90 Windows logic/protocol/update checks and 58 Android unit tests pass; release build and Android lint pass. Recognition on the physical phone was not re-run; its existing configured English speech service is unchanged.

Updating

Update both platforms. Windows 0.4.4 can download, verify, install and restart into this release through Settings. Android uses the usual APK install prompt.

Dictation in Rune and automatic input selection

Fixes custom-editor insertion, selects the pointed-at input before listening, and displays the Windows insertion result directly on the phone.

English speech startup fix and Windows in-app updates

Uses the configured Android speech service with explicit English, adds verified Windows download/install/restart and rollback, and fixes tracking interruption and diagnostic pause issues.

English dictation startup

Removed forced selection of the separate on-device recognizer, which could exist without supporting the requested language and fail immediately with error 12. AirTrack now uses the configured system speech service directly and explicitly requests English (en-US), without a fallback retry. Provider/network availability still depends on the phone.

Windows updates

Download & install update downloads the release in the app, verifies the exact byte count and SHA-256, stages a helper, closes the app, replaces its executable, and restarts it. Download can be cancelled. Failed verification leaves the installed executable untouched; a failed restart launch rolls back. Install this version manually once to enable the updater. Android retains the normal APK installation flow.

Review fixes

Reused camera conversion storage and corrected padded-row handling while respecting MediaPipe image ownership. Skip conversion for inactive and throttled scanning frames. Resynchronize the cursor on resume; cancel dictation on rotation or hand changes; release a held drag even on invalid landmarks after tracking loss. Native touch cancels on foreground change or rejected keepalive injection. F8 now cancels diagnostics without restoring input afterward. Named-pipe commands handle fragmented reads, and cancelled window gestures clear stale click suppression.

Validation

90 Windows checks and 52 Android unit tests pass; Android release build and lint pass. Download integrity, cancellation, atomic replacement, rollback, Unicode transport, focus/session rejection and camera row packing have regression coverage. Physical speech, gesture accuracy, latency, power and target-application compatibility still require device testing. Eye control remains experimental.

Hold to dictate into the focused input

Thumb–middle-finger hold starts speech recognition on the phone. Release inserts the final transcript into the same focused Windows input.

Gesture dictation

Hold thumb and middle finger together for 350 ms, speak into the phone, and release to insert. Cursor gestures pause while dictating. Partial recognition appears on the phone; only the final transcript is sent over the paired encrypted connection.

Focused insertion

Windows captures the focused editable control when dictation starts and checks that the same control still has focus before inserting Unicode text at the caret. Selected text is replaced as normal typing does. Stale sessions, pause, tracking loss and disconnect reject pending results. Acknowledgements and duplicate suppression prevent retrying a transcript from typing it twice.

Recognition and limits

On-device Android recognition is preferred when available. Otherwise the installed speech provider may use online processing. One phrase per hold, with a 60-second timeout and 2,000-character limit. Inaccessible, password and elevated inputs can reject insertion. A recognition provider and microphone permission are required.

Validation

74 Windows logic/protocol checks and 48 Android unit tests pass. Android release build and lint pass. Physical microphone, gesture timing and target-application insertion still need hands-on validation.

Saved computers, system tray and automatic update checks

Saved Android computer profiles with custom names, Close-to-tray on Windows, optional Windows startup, automatic launch update checks and a hidden installation shortcut once installed. A focused control centre, gesture guide and Settings on both platforms. Standard interface icons, a new runic app icon and update checks through Kevlog.

Saved computers, tray and launch updates

Android can save any number of named PC profiles and switches one connection at a time. Windows Close hides the window to the tray; Quit stops the process. Start with Windows is available during installation and afterward. Both platforms check for updates on each launch and expose newer downloads in Settings. Precision remains enabled by default. The sidebar installation shortcut disappears once installed.

Installation

Install on this PC in Windows Settings installs for the current account, adds Start menu and optional desktop shortcuts, and registers an Apps & Features uninstaller. Portable use remains available.

Interface

Rebuilt the Windows workspace with sidebar navigation, a focused control dashboard, a separate gesture guide and grouped Settings. Android uses bottom navigation, a dedicated camera control screen and separate gesture and Settings pages. Decorative runes were removed from controls; the app icon retains the rune identity.

Distribution and updates

Self-contained Windows EXE and signed, non-debuggable Android APK. Both Settings pages can check the published HTTPS update feed and offer a newer download. Existing gesture processing and transport acknowledgement behavior are retained.

Validation

56 Windows logic/protocol/update checks and 43 Android unit tests pass. Android release lint completes without errors. Public artwork identifies demonstration data and any design mockups; it is not a claim of measured tracking accuracy.
