Fixes #36. The v3.5.8 on-demand Whisper installer turned out to be effectively unreachable — this release makes non-English transcription (German and 30+ languages) actually install and run.

What was broken

  • The "Install non-English support" button appeared for a single render, then vanished on reload — the first failed attempt flipped the project into an error state that hid the very card hosting the button. No button, no Retranscribe: a dead end.
  • Auto-detect skipped the installer entirely and failed with a raw error.
  • The install promised "~200 MB" but really pulls ~2 GB (PyTorch engine + a 1.5 GB speech model), with no progress and a second silent download during the first transcription — so it looked frozen.

What's fixed

  • The install button now persists until Whisper is actually installed, on every visit.
  • Auto-detect works.
  • Live progress for the whole download, and the speech model is fetched up front so the first transcription runs immediately instead of hanging.
  • Honest, accurate copy (~2 GB, one time).

Install

Download Doza Assist.dmg below, open it, and drag Doza Assist to Applications. The build is signed & notarized, so it opens with no Gatekeeper warning. Pick German (or any language) and it'll prompt you to install the engine the first time — let it finish (it's a couple GB, one time), then every language just works.
