What's New in Subtle Voicebuds

1.2.0

October 20, 2026

- Autocorrect on the Subtle keyboard now makes about half as many mistakes, partly by using where you tap and by splitting words that run together. - Dictations you start from the Subtle keyboard open faster. - While you dictate, a soft glow and a label show whether your Voicebuds or your phone's microphone is listening. - Voicebuds recordings are more reliable, no longer cut off the first or last words, and keep what you said if the earbuds disconnect. - If your Voicebuds are on a call or updating, Subtle now tells you why dictation can't start and lets you try again. - Earbud Settings has a new card you can swipe through to see battery levels, tap gestures, pairing steps and case light colors. - Your notes and chats are now grouped by date, such as Yesterday, recent weeks and earlier months. - Subtle is more stable, with fixes for crashes when deleting items or signing out, and faster typing in notes.

Nice Voice filtering technology

Excellent app! I can join meetings from my phone while I’m out in public or with my one-year-old son, and it picks up only my voice while filtering out the background noise—even my son’s voice when he’s right next to me. It has worked really well for me. Very convenient and easy to use!

Great Software, Great Headphones

Firstly, I didn’t realize that I could dictate while a lecture or at a meeting through whispering. This software allows you to whisper dictate. A seemingly miraculous feat.

I’m a professor and when my students were taking their exam I could quietly dictate by whispering using this app without disturbing them.

The app itself is stylish and very intuitive to use. I use the Mac one as well but I even wrote this review, whispering the whole time. Great software.
