FASTER, SMALLER TURBO Turbo is now a 630 MB download instead of 950 MB, and a more accurate model than the one it replaces. MODEL PREPARATION THAT FINISHES Preparing a model no longer gives up halfway and throws away the download you just waited for, so Retry no longer re-fetches the whole thing. A model that gets stuck preparing no longer locks you out of the app. The screen now tells you a first Turbo setup takes about three and a half minutes, instead of leaving you guessing. FIXES A model now reports itself ready only once it truly is, so the first dictation after setup no longer fails. A model whose preparation was interrupted is no longer listed as not downloaded while its files still take up space on your iPhone. Dictation with AirPods or another Bluetooth microphone works after a phone call, instead of recording from the wrong input and failing on the first try. Backspace deletes words at a readable pace, stops at the start of an empty field, and no longer keeps buzzing after you lift your finger. Error messages in the keyboard are complete, readable, and written for a person.
