VoxPilot v0.3.8: Configurable Max Speech Duration

VoxPilot v0.3.8 — Control Your Recording Window

VoxPilot just shipped v0.3.8 with a frequently requested feature: configurable max speech duration.

What's New

Previously, VoxPilot hard-capped recordings at 15 seconds before auto-transcribing. Now you control that window:

  • voxpilot.maxSpeechDuration — set anywhere from 5 to 60 seconds
  • Default stays at 15s (Moonshine ASR's sweet spot for accuracy)
  • Increase for long dictation — writing paragraphs, describing bugs, brainstorming
  • Decrease for snappy commands — quick voice triggers, short queries
  • Updates live — no restart needed when you change the setting

Why It Matters

Different workflows need different recording lengths. A quick "run tests" command doesn't need 15 seconds of listening. A detailed code review comment might need 45. Now you decide.
