## Heard 1.1.52

### Interrupt narration with the talk key

Press Right Command while Heard is speaking. Tap to stop the current sentence, or hold the key to begin talking back. This works with push to talk and ambient input.

### Clearer system audio in ambient mode

Ambient mode no longer switches macOS into call processing. System audio, videos, and Heard narration remain clear while hands free input is active.

### Faster first launch

The Heard notch now appears immediately after onboarding finishes.
