Drag and drop import, an Audio settings pane, a Windows menu bar, and reliable desktop sign-in.
Drag and drop to import
Drop audio files straight onto the app to import them.
Choose your output device
A new **Audio** pane in settings lets you pick the output device and set its level.
A menu bar on Windows
Windows now has a menu bar in the window on every screen, with Ctrl shortcuts. **File > Open Recent** lists your last five podcasts.
Your local data refreshes once
On first launch the app clears its local copy and re-syncs your podcasts from the cloud. You stay signed in, but let any uploads finish before you update.
New
- Drag and drop audio onto the app to import it.
- Answer a question from RØDIE in your own words, not only by picking one of its options.
- A new Audio pane in settings for choosing the output device and setting its level.
- File > Open Recent lists the five podcasts you opened most recently, with Clear Menu.
- Windows: a menu bar drawn inside the window on every screen, with Ctrl shortcuts.
- File > Import Audio is available on the home screen as well as in the editor.
- Export selection on the transcript right-click menu.
- Press Enter to start a new paragraph and Backspace to remove the break, each as a single undoable edit.
Improved
- macOS: folder access now uses the standard macOS permission prompts, and app data is stored in Application Support.
- Windows: app data has moved out of your Documents folder so OneDrive no longer syncs it.
- Your local data is cleared and re-synced from the cloud on first launch. Let any uploads finish before you update, as a file the server has not received yet can't be recovered.
- The home sidebar and podcast actions have been redesigned, with Import moved under your account.
- Update checks are more reliable, and an unexpected answer no longer silently turns off update prompts.
- In Spatial, speakers can be placed up to 45° left or right. Speakers you placed further out move to 45°.
Fixed
- Desktop sign-in no longer expires after about a minute, and a failed sign-in no longer blames your network when that wasn't the cause.
- The offline notice says the right thing when you are signed out.
- MP3 export labels its setting Bitrate, not Bit Depth.
- Replacements made by RØDIE behave the same as clicking the word, and replacements with accented characters no longer duplicate the words either side.
- Audio preparation that gets stuck now cancels instead of hanging the app.
- macOS: menus no longer snap shut while audio plays in the editor.
- Exports contain the words the transcript shows, without the playback silence tail, and clip duration shows the real length.
- Your selection survives a reload or a click on the surrounding window. Trackpad scrolling no longer selects text by accident, and drag-select waits for real movement.
- Title bar controls respond to double-clicks.
- The playhead stops on the word you clicked, failed word corrections tell you so, and corrections that change nothing are no longer sent.
- Composition card separators are centred, and onboarding step icons are framed correctly.
