  eaSnippet 0.2.0 Stable

  x released this 2026-10-14 01:44:18 +00:00 | 107 commits to main since this release

  Faster, more accurate dictation, and a few things that were missing. eaSnippet now needs a Mac with
  Apple silicon (macOS 26), which also makes it much smaller: about a 13 MB download.

  Dictation

  • Push to talk. Hold the right ⌘ key on its own, talk, and let go: the text goes where you were
    typing. Shortcuts that use right ⌘ still work. You can pick right ⌥ or fn instead, or turn it off,
    in Settings › Voice.
  • No lost first words. The microphone starts before the speech model is ready, so what you say
    straight away is kept.
  • The pill sits at the bottom centre of the screen, so you always know where to look.
  • Chinese mixed with English. An optional model, SenseVoice, runs on your Mac's Neural Engine
    and writes Chinese and mixed Chinese/English sentences, showing them as you speak. Choose it in
    Settings › Voice or with easnippet config set voice.engine sensevoice; it downloads once (about
    240 MB). It's good but not perfect: an English word inside a Chinese sentence is sometimes clipped.
  • Names and jargon. voice.vocabulary lists words dictation should expect.
  • Tidy up (optional). Apple's on-device model reads what you said and fixes words that sound
    right but don't fit ("the bill is running" → "the build is running"), plus grammar and
    punctuation. An answer that drops a word, translates, or swaps in a word that isn't a sound-alike
    is thrown away, and your words go in as spoken. Off by default; it adds about a second.

  Everyday use

  • Rearrange the popup's buttons by dragging them right in the popup. Dictate now sits next to
    Paste by default.
  • Sort your snippets by name, keyword, category or last change.
  • Snippet hotkeys are saved with the snippet, so they come along in exports and can be set from
    the command line.

  Under the hood

  • Saving clipboard history and usage no longer waits on the database, so nothing stalls while
    another app writes to it.
  • The app notices every change, whether you, the easnippet command or an AI agent made it, without
    extra work.
  • The MCP server speaks the newest protocol (2026-07-28) as well as the older ones.
  • Third-party licences are listed in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
