What's New in Cadence
1.9.0
October 28, 2026
Model downloads show how far they have got, in megabytes, rather than "Downloading…" alone. Also in this version: • Speech models move to a new folder the first time you open this version, and the ones you already have come along. • With the language on Automatic, Parakeet now records the language it heard, as Whisper does. • Clear a renamed speaker's name and save, and it gets its default name back, as on the Mac. • iPhone no longer offers Export for a recording where no speech was found. • Choosing a speaker count while speakers are off no longer marks a transcript out of date.
