What’s new in Froge

What changed in each version. Froge doesn’t check for updates and doesn’t fetch this page itself. The “What’s new” link in Settings opens it in your browser.

Unreleased: first public version

  • Speech recognized on your PC

    Whisper small runs on your PC. Add Parakeet v3 for more speed in 25 European languages; Whisper answers for the rest. Or add Whisper large-v3 turbo, a 1.6 GB model that is more accurate: on our test PC it took 3.4 seconds to recognize 10 seconds of speech. Froge asks before it downloads any of them.

  • Bring your own key, off by default

    Hosted recognition on your own key from Groq, OpenAI, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs, Mistral, Speechmatics, Gladia, Soniox, Azure Speech, Google Cloud Speech, Together AI or Lemonfox, and hosted cleanup from Groq, OpenAI or OpenRouter. Each stays off until you switch it on, and adding a key doesn’t switch anything on.

  • Heard while you speak

    Deepgram, AssemblyAI and Speechmatics hear you while you talk, so your words arrive soon after you let go. They are typed once, when you do.

  • Type into terminals, when you ask

    Off by default. Switch it on in Settings and a single line of dictation goes into a terminal or a coding agent’s prompt, exactly as heard. Froge never presses Enter for you, and anything with a line break still waits in the rescue window.

  • An On this device page

    Settings shows every model on your PC, checked before each use, with a Download button that says what it fetches before it fetches it. The cleanup runtime is Froge’s own copy of Ollama, which Ollama’s updater doesn’t touch.

  • Language and microphone dropdowns

    Settings lists 46 languages, with your Windows language first, or lets Froge detect it. Pick your microphone from the ones on your PC.

  • Kept out of clipboard history

    When Froge pastes through the clipboard, it marks what it puts there so Windows keeps it out of Clipboard history (Win+V) and cloud clipboard sync. Third-party clipboard managers may ignore that mark.

  • Report a problem from the app

    “Report a problem” opens a draft in your own mail program, with the app version, Windows version, which engine and providers are on, and a crash summary. Nothing you said is in it, and nothing is sent unless you send it.
