We've been hard at work making Hedy even more powerful, personalized, and globally accessible. We just released version 1.17 of Hedy, with several new additions. Read on to learn about the new features!
We're also finishing the native desktop version of Hedy, which is our most requested feature. Expect the update frequency for the mobile app to continue to slow down until we launch the desktop app.
🌈 Multiple Custom Contexts: The Right Background for Every Meeting (Pro)
You can now create and manage multiple custom contexts for different meeting scenarios. Whether you're switching between roles, projects, or clients, Hedy can now have the perfect background information for each unique situation.
This powerful feature helps Hedy provide more relevant insights by understanding:
Your specific role in different meetings
Project-specific details and goals
Client or team-specific context
Areas where you'd like extra support
Simply create different contexts from the Meeting Settings screen and select the appropriate one at the start of each session! For more information, visit our help documentation. Free users can continue to create one context, while Pro users have the ability to create multiple contexts.
🌍 13 New Conversation Languages
Hot on the heels of last month's chat language update, Hedy can now understand conversations in these additional languages:
Afrikaans
Catalan
Croatian
Czech
Danish
Finnish
Greek
Hebrew
Hungarian
Romanian
Serbian
Slovenian
Tagalog/Filipino
We know that some of you will be sad that your preferred language is not on that list (in particular Arabic, Hindi, and Thai). Unfortunately at this time the quality of speech recognition is still not high enough for those languages to be added to the mobile app. Our goal is to add these missing languages to the new Hedy desktop app, since we should be able to run larger speech recognition models, and eventually the mobile app as well.
📝 Smarter Meeting Summaries
We've significantly enhanced our summary generation to make them even more valuable:
Chat-Aware Insights: Summaries now incorporate relevant information from your Hedy chat
Optimized for Longer Sessions: Business Meeting and Lecture modes have been specifically tuned to handle extended discussions without dropping important information
More Comprehensive Coverage: Better identification of key decisions, action items, and important concepts
✨ Quality-of-Life Improvements
We've been busy improving your Hedy experience:
Account Management: Email address change option for users who signed up with email/password
Subscription Management: Direct access to manage your app store subscription from App Settings
Improved Post-Session Chat: Chat box is now fixed at the bottom to match the main chat screen
Help Access: Added information icons linking directly to help documentation
Enhanced Reliability: Improved failover systems ensure chat continuity during service interruptions
Better Localization: Refined translations throughout the app interface
All these updates are now available in the latest version of Hedy. Update your Hedy app to the latest version (1.17) and dive in!
