+Version 1.2.0 also registers **Athena Whisper (Diktieren)** as a separate
+realtime transcription provider through OpenClaw's official plugin API. In the
+browser composer, hold the microphone for dictation, then release it to send
+the 8 kHz G.711 audio through the Gateway. The plugin converts it to PCM WAV
+and calls the same Athena `/audio/transcriptions` endpoint used by Talk. The
+transcribed text is returned to the composer; this path does not invoke the
+agent or TTS. The transcription provider reuses `talk.realtime.providers.athena-talk`
+and the configured model provider for its URL/key, so no second credential is
+needed. In `talk.catalog`, it appears under `transcription.providers`. OpenClaw
+currently gives a transcription provider five seconds to return its final text
+after recording stops; the plugin caps its Whisper request at 4.5 seconds.

 Restart the gateway once if the installation does not trigger an automatic
 reload. The managed plugin copy is stored in OpenClaw's persistent data
 directory, so normal image updates do not remove it. Hermes remains unchanged;
