2025 Volume 1 also provides these platforms a new SpeechToText control. This powerful tool offers:

- Multilingual support.
- Predefined and customizable UI styles.
Essential® JS 2
The JavaScript Charts component has received many enhancements, including:

.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.
