Recently shipped **Canto**, a proprietary real-time speech model now running all dictation automatically.

**Canto beats the third-party stack on messy audio.** Measured on 9.8 hours of real-world English recordings from 2,300+ speakers, it posted the lowest word error rate of every model tested, Google, OpenAI, AssemblyAI, and Deepgram included. It also led on stress-test audio: background conversation, music, traffic, wind, whispered speech. A 10x-scale successor is in training, targeting harder conditions and broader language coverage.

**Notetaker reached Windows and pulls in outside AI tools.** Windows joins Mac, with meeting detection, personal-dictionary term handling, in-call catch-up, cross-meeting search with citations, and draft generation. Gemini joined Claude and ChatGPT in one-click setup, and any MCP-compatible tool can now read transcripts — connection grants transcript access only.

**Meeting capture got sturdier.**
- Speaker detection in Teams gallery view and Google Meet
- Stuck Windows meeting uploads now finish on their own, and recordings recover from save or upload errors
- @-mention people in meeting notes, with hover contact cards
- A warning when the mic picks up no sound, plus a “Speaking a different language?” prompt to add languages on Mac and Windows

**Privacy controls tightened.** Model training stays off for Growth and Enterprise members. Turning off dictation Cloud Storage no longer stops Scratchpad from syncing across devices.
