🔑 Key Advantages

• Privacy by design: Transcription, translation, and export run entirely on-device; sensitive media never leaves your machine.
• Choose the best engine: Switch among FluidAudio, whisper.cpp, WhisperKit, Apple’s on-device AI (macOS 26+), and Kokoro English speech synthesis for voice-over work.
• Live production workflow: Monitor recordings, subtitles, translations, floating previews, and automation chains in real time.
• What-you-see previews: Inspect subtitle typography inside the built-in player with responsive font sizing and line spacing controls.
• Extensible tooling: Combine templates, JavaScript processors, dictionaries, and regex transforms to automate complex subtitle cleanup.
• Purpose-built subtitle desk: Manage editing, review, batch export/import, and Final Cut Pro / QuickLook / GIF / MKV pipelines in one place.

🔥 Core Capabilities

• Batch + live transcription: Handle bulk assets, live microphone capture, app audio routing, and simultaneous translation.
• Subtitle & translation editor: Merge, split, retime, quick-cut, mass replace, and drive the entire project through keyboard-first controls.
• Multilingual translation: Use DeepL, Apple Translate, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, or local Ollama-compatible LLMs.
• Automation playbooks: Trigger scripts, exports, summaries, or notifications automatically when jobs finish.
• Import / export ecosystem: Move seamlessly between SRT, VTT, ASS, FCPXML, GIF, PDF, DOCX, MKV, audio clips, and more.
• Visual tooling: Float preview windows, adapt fonts and spacing to resolution, and switch to text-only or split-view modes instantly.
• LLM collaboration: Connect Apple on-device models, Ollama, or remote LLMs for polishing, summarising, or scripted subtitle fixes.
• Project control & snapshots: Group projects, prioritise queues, capture reversible snapshots, archive safely, and monitor remote folders.
• Video post-production: Quick Cut waveform editing, chapter authoring, scene keyframes, GIF/MP4 exports, and hard-subtitle encoding.
