Sonidata 1.6.3 brings our brand-new Audio Recovery Assistant, seamless recording continuity across incoming phone calls, instant Smart Slate response times, and a completely redesigned External Recorder file manager. Audio Recovery Assistant Never lose a take to sudden battery death or an unexpected system reboot. Sonidata now writes periodic checkpoints for WAV files during recording and automatically scans for interrupted takes on launch. If an interrupted take is detected, our new 4-step recovery wizard guides you to repair and safely add the recording directly to your library. Recording Continuity Field recordings no longer stop unexpectedly when you receive a phone call or activate Siri. The recording safely pauses, displays a clear status indicator, and automatically resumes into the same audio file once the call concludes or you return to the app. Instant Smart Slate Tapping the microphone button now begins recording immediately with zero delay. Our on-device neural engine processes metadata even faster, and background memory management has been optimized to eliminate interface freezes during long naming sessions. Redesigned External Recorder List The External Recorder file list now features full parity with the main sound library. Enjoy sortable columns by Name, Category, or Date, an expandable waveform detail drawer, convenient swipe action pills, and streamlined batch editing. Questions or feedback?

WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.6: 1. INTRODUCING SMART SLATE (WORLD DEBUT) Your voice is now your metadata slate. Simply hold the Smart Slate button and describe what you hear in plain language: "Heavy metal gate squeaking shut outside in the wind." In under one second, Sonidata transcribes your speech, analyzes the acoustic scene, and auto-populates: - Universal Category System (UCS) Category & Subcategory (e.g., DOORGate / DOOR) - Standardized FX Name adhering to industry UCS formatting - Rich, contextual sound descriptions No typing. No menus. Instant flow. 2. 100% OFFLINE & PRIVATE (ZERO CLOUD) Smart Slate runs entirely on your iPhone's Apple Silicon neural engine. - Zero audio or data ever leaves your device. - Works anywhere on Earth: deep inside remote forests, caves, abandoned structures, or concrete bunkers with zero cellular reception. - Fast, battery-efficient inference with sub-second response times. 3. DESKTOP BEAM TO MAC (ZERO-CABLE HANDOFF) Moving recordings from your phone to your DAW has never been faster. - 1-tap wireless Bonjour export directly into Sonidata Embed on your Mac. - Bundles your high-resolution audio, session reference photos, and canonical 29-column BWF/iXML metadata into an optimized package. - No cables, no AirDrop juggling, and no third-party cloud uploads. 4. WORD-BY-WORD SOUND DESIGN THESAURUS Fine-tune your metadata effortlessly: - Tap any word in your FX Name or Description to momentarily open an acoustic synonym pill bar right above the keyboard in your natural thumb zone. - Instantly swap sound design synonyms (e.g., "creak" -> "groan", "slam" -> "thud", "rattle" -> "clatter") powered by on-device natural language embeddings while preserving your original punctuation and casing. 5. STREAMLINED 2-STEP TRANSPORT & LIBRARY HEALTH We have completely redesigned the export and library workflows: - 2-Step Transport: Step 1 lets you quickly select recordings with active date and category filters; Step 2 highlights Desktop Beam as the hero export action, alongside Freesound and ZIP archives. - Library Health Dashboard: View real-time completion percentages for UCS categories, FX names, GPS locations, and photos. - "Needs Tagging" Isolation Badges: Amber indicators in list views immediately pinpoint sounds missing categories so your library stays production-ready. 6. ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT APP FOOTPRINT Even with cutting-edge on-device AI, Sonidata stays light. Our encrypted on-demand model delivery architecture keeps the initial App Store download under 35 MB, saving your device storage. 7. PERFORMANCE & BUG FIXES - Sub-second voice pipeline: real-time streaming speech recognition reduces transcription wait times by over 80%. - Bluetooth & AirPods reliability: fixed audio session transitions to ensure seamless playback routing. - File synchronization: resolved soft-deleted folder counts and purge behaviors.

This update adds Voice Slate for descriptions, fixes metadata handling for external recorder files, and improves recording reliability. Voice Slate for Descriptions You can now dictate directly into the Description field using Voice Slate, the same way you already dictate FX Names. Tap the microphone icon next to the Description field and speak — your words are transcribed and inserted automatically. Available for Pro users. External Recorder Fixed an issue where the microphone name was not saved when editing external recorder files. The microphone field now correctly persists whether you're editing a single file or applying metadata in batch. Recording High-Pass Filter is now available across all recording modes. Choose a cutoff frequency from 20 to 250 Hz and a filter slope from 6 to 24 dB per octave to remove low-frequency rumble (wind, handling, traffic) during recording. The filter applies to both monitoring and the recorded file. New Mic Setup Help sheet guides you through configuring M/S microphones like the Shure MV88 for optimal stereo recording. Stability Fixed audio scrub not resuming playback after releasing the slider. Fixed selection checkmarks being invisible in dark mode. Fixed swipe-to-reveal edit actions being blocked when a file row was expanded. Questions or feedback? Reach us at sonidata.info@gmail.com

Stability & Battery Fixed an issue where Sonidata could show hours of Screen Time even when you weren't using the app. The audio engine now properly shuts down when you're not recording or monitoring. Completely rebuilt our database recovery system. If your phone battery dies while capturing a long take, or the device unexpectedly reboots, Sonidata now safely preserves your library instead of resetting it. Automatic rolling backups ensure your metadata is never lost. Resolved an issue where force-quitting the app during an active session could leave a ghost recording timer frozen on your lock screen for hours. Audio & Recording Recordings in Mono, Dual Mono, and M/S modes now include an automatic +3 dB digital gain boost to match the volume of True Stereo recordings. This applies to both the recorded audio file and the level meter, closing the gap between iOS-processed audio and raw microphone signal. The digital gain slider now works correctly on first launch. Desktop Companion The Sonidata Embed popup now highlights Embed v1.3.0: non-destructive output, smart ZIP auto-detect, and the new Library Organizer. A What's New section now appears after every update so you always know about the latest desktop features. Metadata Added altitude to recording metadata. Your elevation is now captured alongside GPS coordinates and included in CSV exports and Soundminer-compatible fields. Questions or feedback? Reach us at sonidata.info@gmail.com

Stability & Battery Fixed an issue where Sonidata could show hours of Screen Time even when you weren't using the app. The audio engine now properly shuts down when you're not recording or monitoring, so the app no longer keeps running silently in the background. Improved database resilience: if the internal database is corrupted after a system update, Sonidata now automatically recovers instead of crashing on every launch. Audio & Recording Recordings in Mono, Dual Mono, and M/S modes now include an automatic +3 dB level boost to match the volume of True Stereo recordings. This compensates for the difference between iOS-processed audio and raw microphone signal. The digital gain slider now works correctly on first launch. Previously, new users could experience silent recordings until they adjusted the gain manually. Siri & Shortcuts New voice commands: "Open my Sonidata Library" and "Open Sonidata Map" let you navigate hands-free. You can also ask "How many recordings do I have?" to get a quick count and total duration. Desktop Companion The Sonidata Embed popup now appears after every app update with a What's New section, so you always know about the latest desktop features. Updated to highlight Embed v1.3.0: non-destructive output, smart ZIP auto-detect, and the new Library Organizer. Metadata Added altitude to recording metadata. Your elevation is now captured alongside GPS coordinates and included in CSV exports and Soundminer-compatible fields. Questions or feedback? Reach us at sonidata.info@gmail.com
