### What's new in 1.4.0
- 💬 **Live preview while recording** — the recording overlay shows what you're saying as you speak, using macOS's on-device dictation model (works in Hungarian too). It's a preview: the pasted text still comes from Whisper, so it can differ slightly. Toggle it in Settings.

- All processing is done locally - no data leaves your device
