Application Blacklist
A new section in *Advanced Settings* , you can now temporarily disable Yap inputs while specific apps and games are running. Simply locate the app in the new Blacklist section and toggle "Block Inputs." Yap will automatically stop listening for inputs while that application is active, and instantly resume once it closes perfect for avoiding accidental triggers mid-game!
Save output to clipboard
You can now toggle on the ability to save dictated text to the clipboard, located in the Dictation Settings section, perfect for pasting what you said into applications like VRChat.
Arabic language compatibility
When outputting in Arabic, the text will now read in the correct order, as well as will be visible in the overlays.
Cleanup
Application was audited and cleaned up, removing a lot of unused code, reworking some systems, and overall improved stability
