Whisper Desktop v2.0.0

A ground-up redesign plus AI translation!

🤖 AI Translation — The headline feature

Translate your transcriptions through OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible provider. Manage multiple providers with keyring-backed API keys, configure per-provider models with reasoning levels (None/Low/Medium/High), and let the system auto-detect context windows and recover from token-limit errors automatically. Original subtitle formatting (SRT, VTT, LRC, TXT) is preserved throughout. Preview lines before translating, and cancel mid-request with immediate HTTP abort.
