• Eliminated many excessive React renders
  • Fixed a bug where an action was being updated by index instead of ID, causing broken story updates in some cases
  • Added Audio Input and Audio Output options to the top-right menu. With both of these enabled in desktop Chrome, you can now have an audio-only conversation with your AI. These are based on the open Web Speech API spec, but have cross-browser issues and should not be considered a stable feature.

Important: Chrome’s implementation of the speech recognition API is not offline - it will send your data remotely.

TLDR: Better performance. less bugs. don’t use audio features yet if you dislike Chrome or value privacy

If you are serving Ghostpad from a different host than localhost and want to use speech recognition, you need to enable Insecure origins treated as secure and add that URL in chrome://flags
