### 4/5 — Bug有点多

*2025-12-15*

1. 正在播放视频时鼠标挪到Playback speed上会反复跳，没办法调速率。2. 把正在播放的视频暂停后调了速率再播放（假设是x1.5），实时字幕就不工作了，进度指示器也卡住不动。3. 关闭程序再打开同样的视频文件，Playback speed显示是1倍速，但实际上是刚才调整后的速率（即x1.5），并且播放其他视频文件时也会遇到这个问题。4. Transcribe页面里下载了多个模型时，本次播放正在使用哪一个模型不太清楚，而且好像也没有方法切换模型。5. 希望字幕可以调一下位置和行数，看课件全屏的录播课的时候字幕占的面积太大了，会把画面内容占用，只能通过拉高窗口高度来让字幕下沉到画面外去，但是这样黑边又太大了。6. 希望进度指示器可以拖拽改变位置。

### 5/5 — awesome

*2025-07-09, version 9.8*

我的需求是因為廣東話還不熟練，在香港上課，需要實時提供廣東話字幕。前幾日買的科大迅飛產品，效果不理想退掉了，抱著試一試的想法，這款App另我眼前一亮，僅用Apad自帶麥克風准確率還不錯👍👍👍很贊!!!

### 5/5 — 不支持MP3转录入

*2025-07-06*

刚更新的版本不支持MP3转录，但上一个版本可以。希望修正。

**Developer response:** 9.6版本应该已经修复了，麻烦更新一下

### 5/5 — 先给好评

*2025-03-08*

新版本的出问题了，我怎么不能在线录音识别文字?一直用的很好,好评.

**Developer response:** 9.6版本应该已经修复了，麻烦更新一下

### 5/5 — very good

*2025-02-22, version 9.3*

useful to study foreign language (support audio / video transcript)

### 5/5 — Problem solved by support within hours.

*2024-02-23*

I purchased the premium upgrade so I could export transcriptions, but saw no way to export them. The About menu said I am premium, but none of the features were available in the app.

The developer contacted me, and his support is awsome. It appears there is a bug with MacOS 17.4, where colors display improperly, and one must toggle off the tab bar, then back on, for the advanced export options to appear.

I would not have resolved this without his help. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that, Can you mail (voice@engineerdraft.com) me the deails with screenshot? or restart
the app。
You can export the transcription on toolbar(top of the window) with (SRT, TXT, PDF) format.

### 1/5 — Premium not working

### 1/5 — never used it, never tried it, it says it's Expired

*2023-12-08*

What's up with that?

**Developer response:** may be it is a bug，you can trail with demo video， or buy it directly and ask apple refund if you don‘t like it。

### 1/5 — 为什么老是意外退出

*2023-10-24*

点击八百遍了打不开

**Developer response:** 麻烦升级到最新版本应该已经修复。如果还不行麻烦加群，开发者会帮忙解决。

### 5/5 — 非常棒！

*2023-08-16*

增加了新的转译功能对听播客或者无字幕的视频非常有帮助。新的更新也增加了日语，在新模型的下转换出来的字幕比之前默认的有非常大的提高，准确率超过95%。非常感谢开发者！

**Developer response:** 您的认可是我不断优化的动力，感谢

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 9.13 — 2026-08-03

Big one: MKV, AVI, FLV, WMV, RMVB and WebM now play directly — no converting first. Live captions and translation work there too.

A cleaner, more native playback experience:
- Playback controls redesigned in the native Liquid Glass style: a sleek dark bar that morphs while you scrub, with a live preview thumbnail that follows your finger
- Subtitle background opacity is now truly adjustable — slide it to zero for fully transparent captions
- Captions automatically dock to the bottom of the screen when playback controls hide

Fixes:
- Live translation occasionally showing nothing or a false "unsupported language" error
- Scrubbing occasionally snapping back to the previous position
- Incorrect duration shown for some MP4 files
- Playback progress and Lock Screen info stopping while controls were hidden

### 9.12 — 2026-05-26

Pick up right where you left off. Videos and transcribed audio now resume from your last position, with a quick Start Over option when you want to begin again.

Improved:
- Playback controls now fade away automatically after a few seconds.
- Bookmark, subtitle, and model screens have cleaner colors and better iOS 26 behavior.

### 9.11 — 2026-05-23

New iOS 26 Liquid Glass interface
• Refreshed player, dictation and settings with a lighter, translucent feel

Live captions, leveled up
• Powered by Apple's DictationTranscriber for snappier, steadier recognition
• Manage on-device Speech models: download on demand, track progress, remove anytime
• Microphone shuts down cleanly — no more occasional stalls

Dictation polish
• More prominent recording controls for easy one-handed use
• Redesigned bottom player bar on the detail view
• Refined toolbar icons throughout

Player refinements
• Close button typography and tap target improvements
• Fixed a brief flash when a Speech model finished downloading

### 9.10 — 2025-08-16

- Fix app crash bug

### 9.9 — 2025-07-13

- Add more transcribe format(MKV, etc) support
