Scribe Files

What's new

• Typing no longer depends on the keyboard layout. Every printable character is now sent as a Unicode character instead of a key press, so the target application receives exactly what Scribe intended, whatever layout is active in it (English, Russian, French, ...). This fixes Cyrillic turning into Latin letters, . becoming ю on a Russian layout, and similar mix-ups reported in [#1].
• No space before a punctuation mark. A mark is now always attached to the preceding word: домой . becomes домой. in normal dictation as well as after a spoken command.
• Spoken marks replace automatic ones. If the neural model already put a mark on the command word, the spoken mark wins instead of being added next to it: привет как дела точка gives Привет. Как дела., not Привет. Как дела. . or Привет, как дела..
• Portable mode is back. Put an empty file named portable.flag next to Scribe.exe and settings, models, records and the log stay in the program folder instead of %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe. Delete the flag to return to the shared folder. The one-time data migration is skipped in portable mode.
• No more restart loop after changing the model. Scribe now remembers the path of the model it actually loaded, so the reload happens once and pressing OK in the settings window afterwards is harmless.
• Version 1.6.0.

Voice punctuation commands

The marks ! and ... are not added automatically; any mark can also be dictated. Add these rules on the Replacements tab (the examples below are for Russian; use your own words for other languages):

period           -> [Backspace].
comma            -> [Backspace],
question mark    -> [Backspace]?
exclamation mark -> [Backspace]!
colon            -> [Backspace]:
new line         -> [Backspace][Enter]

A spoken mark always wins over the mark the model placed on that word, and the preceding space is removed.

Upgrading from 1.5.0

Run ScribeSetup.exe over the existing installation. Settings and downloaded models are kept.

Installing

1. Close Scribe completely (tray icon -> Exit).
2. Run ScribeSetup.exe and follow the wizard.
3. Start Scribe from the Start Menu.

Scribe.exe is also attached for standalone use. It keeps its data in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe.

Portable build

Scribe-portable.zip contains Scribe.exe with portable.flag already in place, plus a short README. Unpack the archive into any folder (a USB drive, a portable disk or a local folder) and run Scribe.exe: settings, downloaded models, records and the log stay in that folder. To switch the copy back to the shared %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe folder, delete portable.flag.

Thanks to @alekssmitt for testing 1.5.0 and reporting these four problems in [#1].
