What's New

Release notes and updates for Vocado

Version 0.99.99

September 19, 2026

Improvements

  • Extending a note with a new recording now adds the new text to its AI versions as well, so it shows up right away in your note list instead of only in the original transcription

Bug Fixes

  • Quick Transcribe stays put — the notification-bar button no longer disappears silently after an app update, and if Android ever stops it you now get a “Paused — tap to resume” notification instead of nothing
  • YouTube, TikTok and audio-file imports now tell you when something went wrong instead of quietly disappearing
  • Notes transcribed with HD show their HD badge again — it had gone missing after the model update

Version 0.99.98

August 2, 2026

Improvements

  • New HD transcription model — even better with accents, background noise, and recordings that mix languages, and now 25% cheaper than before
  • Try it: set HD as your default in Settings, pick it when starting a recording from the + menu, or re-transcribe any existing note with it

Version 0.99.97

July 25, 2026

Improvements

  • Updated for Android 16 — with smoother, more predictable back gestures and the latest platform improvements

Improvements

  • Extending an audio note now shows the updated note faster
  • Improved Quick Transcribe (transcribe without opening the Vocado app) now delivers better quality and reliability
  • Smoother permissions — if notification, microphone, or Bluetooth-headset access is off, Vocado now takes you straight to the right setting instead of failing silently, with a new Bluetooth-mic shortcut in Recording settings
  • Automatic notes backup — your notes now back up to your device's Google account and restore automatically when you reinstall or switch to a new phone (audio stays on your device)

Bug Fixes

  • Subscriptions restore automatically — sign back in on a new phone or after reinstalling, and your active plan comes back on its own
