- Enhanced System Recording β Weβve rebuilt how Spellar listens. Expect significantly smoother recording of other meeting participants, ensuring no voice gets left behind, even when wearing headphones.
Experience & Workflow π±
- Refined iOS Workflow β Productivity doesn't stop at your desk. Weβve optimized the iOS experience, making it faster to access folders and apply AI templates on the go.
- New "How It Works" β Discover hidden capabilities and pro-tips in the new guide section within the macOS app.
