Security Notice

Windows SmartScreen Warning

When first running PushToTalk.exe, Windows SmartScreen may display a warning because the executable is not digitally signed. This is normal for open-source applications.

To proceed safely:

  1. Click "More info" when the SmartScreen dialog appears
  2. Click "Run anyway" to launch the application

The application is safe and contains no malicious code - this warning appears only because the executable lacks a commercial code signing certificate.

Installation

  1. Download PushToTalk.zip from the assets below
  2. Extract the ZIP file to your preferred location
  3. Run PushToTalk.exe (click "Run anyway" if SmartScreen warning appears)
  4. Configure your OpenAI API key and preferences through the GUI

Upgrade from v0.2.0

  • Your existing push_to_talk_config.json will be automatically migrated
  • All settings and preferences are preserved
  • The new streamlined interface provides the same functionality with improved performance
