Talk

What's new

Version 2

2026-09-27

Talk now looks for its own updates here rather than on GitHub, and checks every download against a published checksum.

Improved
  • Talk looks for new versions on its own website now, so updates arrive from the same place as the download.
  • Every update is checked against a published fingerprint before it is installed, so a damaged or altered download is thrown away.

Private, on-device dictation for Linux, now with reading text aloud.

Improved
  • The floating button stays above other windows on Wayland desktops that allow it, and remembers where you put it.
