This release introduces a new SpeechToText component for the JavaScript and Blazor platforms, plus enhancements to the AI AssistView component and the file-format libraries. Also, several .NET MAUI and Blazor components have been fine-tuned and are now ready for production environments.

AI and web control updates
The AI AssistView, an intuitive interface for conversational AI services, now supports streaming. This update to our Essential JS 2 and Blazor toolkits allows prompt responses to be delivered piece by piece as they’re generated.
2025 Volume 1 also provides these platforms a new SpeechToText control. This powerful tool offers:
- Real-time transcription.
- Multilingual support.
- Predefined and customizable UI styles.
Essential® JS 2
The JavaScript Charts component has received many enhancements, including:

- Total values in stacked charts.
- Additional scrollbar position options.
- An event for customizing charts when exporting them to Excel.
.NET MAUI
The Toolbar is a new control that provides a collection of common text editing actions represented by minimalist icons, text labels, or both. Its uncluttered presentation is perfect for any mobile app, adapting to both vertical and horizontal orientations and supporting touch gestures.
Additional .NET MAUI updates include:
- Production-ready status for the AI AssistView and Kanban Board.
- Master-detail view and built-in searching for the DataGrid.
- Blackout dates and times for the Date Picker, Time Picker, and Date Time Picker.
File-format libraries
The PDF Library now supports the creation of PDF documents compliant with PDF/UA-2 accessibility requirements and well-tagged PDF specifications. The Word Library now ensures SmartArt graphics in Word files render accurately when converted to PDF and image formats.
