Last update:
Improved translation reliability during live captions and language changes. Transcrybe now retries stalled macOS system translation sessions and, if language data remains unusable, shows recovery steps instead of staying on “Warming Up...” indefinitely. Improved recovery from brief macOS screen-capture interruptions so subtitles keep retrying silently instead of stopping with an error.
