1. New Whisper Voice Recognition Mode Integrated the Whisper speech-to-text framework. When videos lack on-screen text or have highly cluttered backgrounds, users can select this mode to directly transcribe audio tracks into time-coded standard SRT files. Supports automatic audio language detection. 2. Refactored Functional Modes (Four Independent Options) To better accommodate varied post-production workflows, core features are now structured into four distinct, mutually exclusive modes: Manual ROI Mode: Users manually define the Region of Interest (ROI) for targeted visual OCR scanning. Auto ROI Mode: The system automatically detects and locks the subtitle area for visual OCR scanning. Voice Recognition Mode: A new mode that bypasses visual scanning entirely, performing voice-to-text transcription directly on the audio stream. Playback Only Mode: A new mode that invokes neither OCR nor voice recognition engines. It functions strictly as a standard video player, allowing users to preview media or overlay existing subtitle tracks. 3. Core Workflow Integration Subtitles generated via either OCR scanning or the new voice recognition mode integrate seamlessly with the pre-existing Seamless AI Translation Workflow and AI Video Copilot prompt templates. 4. Free Tier Limits & Weekly Ultra The baseline evaluation cap applies uniformly across both OCR and voice recognition engines. Free access is limited to transcribing or scanning the first 60 seconds of any single video file. Subscribing to Weekly Ultra fully removes all duration caps and enables unlimited batch processing. 5. Sandbox Privacy & Performance Optimization Strictly operates within the Apple Sandbox framework. Both audio and video streams are processed on-the-fly inside active memory with zero local copying, caching, or remote server exposure. Optimized dynamic memory release logic to improve stability when handling long-duration footage.

【Major Upgrade: Automation, AI Workflows & Weekly Ultra】 Intelligent Auto-Detection Workflow Features a smarter layout engine that automatically detects subtitle regions (ROI), locks text bounding boxes, and auto-identifies spoken languages upon import. Full manual precision controls remain completely accessible for non-standard layouts. Seamless AI Subtitle Translation Workflow Intelligently packages extracted SRT text with tailored translation prompts. Seamlessly routes payloads via the native iOS Share Sheet to preferred AI assistants or formats the macOS clipboard for a frictionless paste-and-go experience. AI Video Copilot (Instant Video Q&A) Built-in high-frequency prompt templates allow you to instantly bundle transcripts and send queries to an AI to handle Fact-Checking, Instant Summaries, Copywriting/Titles, and Thumbnail Visual Inspiration. Integrated Video Previewer Play system-compatible formats (MP4, MOV, M4V) with the generated subtitle track overlaid right inside the app. (Note: Advanced formats like AV1 are supported for OCR extraction, but video playback is subject to native system framework limitations.) Free Access Evaluation & Weekly Ultra Free scanning is now capped at the first 60 seconds per video. Users can seamlessly subscribe to the Weekly Ultra plan to remove all duration caps and unlock unrestricted full-length processing. Performance & Privacy Safeguards Fully re-engineered memory management systematically prevents crashes during 4K Ultra-HD or long film processing. Operates strictly under a Zero-Storage framework inside the Apple Sandbox.

Seamless AI Subtitle Translation Workflow Unlock 60+ Languages Instantly: Optimized prompts tailored for natural, context-aware translations. Use the iOS Share Sheet to send your text straight to AI apps, or leverage the smart clipboard on macOS for a frictionless desktop experience. AI Video Copilot (Instant Video Q&A) Your workflow shouldn't end with just extracting an SRT file. Version 2.9 introduces preset "AI Insight Prompts" that perfectly bundle your subtitles with actionable questions. With a single tap, send them to your favorite AI to handle heavy lifting like 【Fact-Checking】, 【Instant Summary】, 【Title Generation】, and 【Thumbnail Inspiration】. Built-in Standard Format Video Playback Preview Instantly: Many users struggle with how to open and play their newly translated SRT subtitles. Version 2.9 adds an integrated player supporting standard system-compatible formats (such as MP4, MOV, M4V). You can now play your video and overlay the extracted/translated subtitles directly inside the app—delivering a smooth "Extract, Translate, and Preview" experience. 【Privacy & Sandbox Security】 Zero Storage, Zero Copies: We deeply respect your data privacy. Strictly operating within the Apple Sandbox framework, the app never stores, duplicates, or caches your video files. Temporary Access Lifecycle Management: The app requests only transient read-only permissions via system-secured tokens (Security-Scoped URLs) in memory. Once this temporary security token expires, the file is securely released. If you need to access it again, the app will safely prompt you to reconnect/re-import the file. Your media remains 100% under your control. 【Algorithm Fixes & Performance Enhancements】 4. Refined Auto-Detection Optimization (Bug Fixes) We addressed edge cases from the previous version where certain videos with unusual aspect ratios or complex backgrounds caused hiccups in our automatic template extraction (subtitle positioning and language auto-detection). The "Zero-Configuration" pipeline is now rock-solid.

In this major milestone update, we are introducing a revolutionary feature that completely redefines and simplifies your subtitle extraction workflow. Say goodbye to manual bounding boxes and guessing video languages—the app now handles everything intelligently for you. 【Key New Features】 Auto Subtitle Detection: Driven by an advanced layout-parsing algorithm, the app now automatically locates and locks onto the exact position of subtitles in your video. Smart Language Auto-Detection: No more manual language selection! The app instantly analyzes and detects the subtitle language with industry-leading accuracy for the vast majority of standard videos. Zero-Configuration, Peak Efficiency: We have completely removed the tedious pre-scanning setup. Just import your video and let the automation work its magic. Your productivity is about to soar. 【Seamless Import Workflows for iOS】 Context Menu: Long-press any video file inside the Files app, select "Open With..." and choose OCR Subtitle. Drag & Drop: Simply drag a video file from the Files app and drop it right onto the "+" target area within OCR Subtitle. In-App Picker: Tap the "+" button inside the app to flexibly choose videos from either your Files directory or your Photos library. 【Seamless Import Workflows for macOS】 Finder Open With: Right-click a video file in Finder, navigate to "Open With..." and select OCR Subtitle. Instant Drag & Drop: Drag a video file straight from Finder and drop it onto the "+" icon in the app window to kick off scanning instantly. Native Finder Selector: Click the "+" button inside the app to quickly browse and select your target files via the standard Finder sheet.
