What is new in Lekh Flow 2.0

## Version 2.0

Lekh Flow 2.0 adds multilingual dictation with WhisperKit while preserving the fast Parakeet-powered English dictation flow from 1.0.

Press a global shortcut, speak naturally, preview live transcription in the floating popup, and commit text into the focused app. English uses Parakeet for low-latency continuous dictation. Non-English languages use WhisperKit for broad on-device multilingual transcription and commit once when you press the shortcut again.
