Versions 2.9 and 2.10 introduce Topic Context Support, cloud transcription options, adjustable playback speed, and smart storage management—transforming how Hedy adapts to your unique workflow.
After a productive summer of development and user feedback, we're releasing significant updates that transform how Hedy adapts to your unique workflow. Versions 2.9 and 2.10 introduce features that our 15,000+ users have been requesting, making Hedy more intelligent, flexible, and efficient than ever.
The headline feature of version 2.10 addresses a challenge every professional faces: maintaining consistent context across related conversations. Whether you're managing multiple client accounts, leading cross-functional projects, or attending a semester-long course, you need your AI assistant to understand the bigger picture.
Topic Context Support changes the game entirely. Now you can add custom instructions, terminology, and background information to any topic, and Hedy automatically applies this context to every session within that topic.
Consider Sarah, a management consultant working with three different clients. For her healthcare client, she adds industry-specific terminology, project goals, and key stakeholder names to the topic context. For her fintech client, she includes different technical terms, compliance requirements, and strategic objectives. Now, whenever Sarah enters a meeting for either client, Hedy instantly understands the context without her having to repeat information.
This isn't just about convenience—it's about intelligence that compounds over time. Each meeting builds on the last, creating a comprehensive knowledge base that makes Hedy's insights increasingly valuable. Students can set learning objectives that persist throughout a course. Sales teams can maintain deal context across multiple touchpoints. Healthcare providers can track patient journeys with consistent medical context.
For organizations already invested in transcription infrastructure, Hedy now integrates seamlessly with your existing services. Version 2.10 introduces support for custom API keys from Deepgram and OpenAI, giving you complete control over your transcription pipeline.
This flexibility matters for several reasons. Enterprises can maintain centralized billing through existing vendor relationships. Teams can leverage negotiated rates or credits they've already purchased. Organizations with specific compliance requirements can ensure their transcription processing meets regulatory standards.
Setting it up takes seconds—simply enable cloud transcription in your settings and add your API keys. Hedy handles the rest, providing the same intelligent insights while respecting your infrastructure choices.
Sometimes the most impactful features are the ones that remove friction from daily workflows. Version 2.9 introduced two such improvements that users immediately embraced.
Adjustable playback speed (0.5x to 2x) transforms how you review sessions. Racing through a three-hour workshop to find that one crucial moment? Speed it up to 2x. Analyzing a complex technical discussion or reviewing a conversation in a second language? Slow it down to 0.75x for better comprehension. This simple control saves hours of review time while ensuring nothing important gets missed.
Smart storage management solves another daily frustration. Hedy users often accumulate hundreds of hours of recordings, consuming valuable device storage. Now you can delete audio files while preserving all transcripts, summaries, and insights. One user reported freeing up 15GB while keeping every piece of intelligence Hedy had generated over six months of meetings.
Language should never be a barrier to professional excellence. Version 2.9 expanded Hedy's language support to include Burmese, Slovak, and Macedonian, bringing our total to over 40 supported chat languages.
This expansion reflects our commitment to making ambient intelligence accessible worldwide. A product manager in Bratislava can now receive insights in Slovak while conducting meetings in English. A journalist in Yangon can interview sources in Burmese while getting real-time coaching in their native language.
What makes these updates significant isn't just their individual impact—it's how they work together to create a more intelligent system. Topic Context ensures Hedy understands your world. Custom transcription services respect your infrastructure. Playback controls and storage management remove daily friction. Expanded language support ensures no one is left behind.
Each feature builds on the last, creating what our users describe as a "compound intelligence effect." The more you use Hedy with these new capabilities, the more valuable it becomes. Context accumulates. Workflows streamline. Intelligence deepens.
These updates represent our ongoing commitment to building ambient intelligence that adapts to you, not the other way around. We're not trying to replace human intelligence—we're amplifying it, one conversation at a time.
As we continue developing Hedy, we're guided by a simple principle: every professional deserves to be the brightest person in the room. These features bring us closer to that vision, making advanced AI assistance more personal, more flexible, and more powerful than ever.
