# What’s new in SpeechBee

Every update to SpeechBee for Mac and what it means for you. Updates install themselves; the Mac App Store version gets the same improvements through the App Store.

Updated 13 October 2026.

## Version 0.3.15

13 October 2026

- **A calmer first start.** Choose “Get started” or “I already use SpeechBee”, then set up in eight short steps instead of eleven.
- **Faster Sign in with Apple.** Apple’s sign-in opens right inside SpeechBee, with no detour through Safari.
- **Your plan, recognized right away.** Restore a plan and the payment window closes by itself. SpeechBee never asks people who already have access to pay.
- **See what’s new at a glance.** After each update, a short summary of the best changes, then it gets out of your way.

## Version 0.3.14

13 October 2026

- **Updates install themselves.** New versions download in the background and install when you quit SpeechBee or step away. Never while you dictate or listen.
- **See what changed after each update.** A small note links to this page once, then gets out of your way.
- **Keep dictating offline for longer.** Dictation keeps working for at least 30 days without a connection. SpeechBee checks your plan when you are back online.
- **Launch at login that just works.** If macOS has switched SpeechBee off, you go straight to the right System Settings page with a note on what to turn on.
- **No more keychain password prompts.** SpeechBee keeps your sign-in without ever asking for your Mac password.
- **Help on every setting.** Hover over or click any ⓘ in Settings to see what an option does.
- **Clearer Settings.** Plainer names, such as Read Aloud and Dictionary & Snippets, with the details one click away.

## Version 0.3.13

13 October 2026

- **Read long articles aloud in one go.** Select up to 200,000 characters and SpeechBee reads all of it, without gaps between parts.
- **Cleaner dictation in 44 languages.** Hesitations such as “um”, “äh” and “えーと” disappear in every language SpeechBee dictates.
- **Say “new paragraph” in your own language.** Spoken punctuation and line breaks work in 16 languages.
- **No more false error messages.** Read Aloud no longer flashes an error just before it starts reading.

## Version 0.3.12

12 October 2026

- **Never miss an update.** Update notices come to the front instead of hiding behind other windows, and later ones wait quietly in the menu.

## Version 0.3.11

12 October 2026

- **Get the newest version any time.** Choose Check for Updates in the menu or in Settings to update right away.
