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.
