Firmware 1.5
The biggest firmware update yet. Voice interaction, vision, phone pairing, and a real desktop-app experience.
// Highlights
Voice Mode
Full voice interaction with push-to-talk or hands-free. Speech-to-text runs locally — no cloud STT, no API key.
SCOUT Vision
Identify plants, parse documents, describe scenes. Image inference runs on the model on your USB.
Phone Access
Pair your phone over the local hotspot via QR code. Phone becomes a second screen for PortableMind. Still air-gapped from the public internet.
Desktop App
Native-feeling desktop launcher on Windows 10/11 and macOS. No browser tabs, no terminal commands.
