New features since 0.1.1: transcribe a file you already have, export captions, note templates and practice questions, and updates that download inside the app.

What's new

  • Transcribe a file: "Transcribe a file" on the Sessions page turns an MP3, M4A or WAV, or the audio of an MP4 or MOV, into a session, with the speech engine you already set up.
  • Captions: a session's "Copy or export" menu saves it as SRT or WebVTT captions, besides Markdown.
  • Note templates: the note saved when a recording stops can follow General, Standup, One-on-one, Interview or Lecture (Settings → Features → Session notes).
  • Practice questions: next to "Generate summary", up to five questions about the session, from the easiest to the hardest, with the answers below.
  • Updates inside the app: the update banner downloads the new DMG and checks it against the release's SHA-256 before opening it.
  • Vocabulary: terms you add under Settings → Vocabulary help local Whisper and cloud transcription spell them right.

Fixes and improvements

  • Clearer errors for the microphone, windows that fail to open and lost connections.
  • The local AI server now requires a key, records the runtime versions it uses, and servers left behind by a crash are cleaned up.
  • The floating panel stays light in long sessions, and the assistant picker stays open on a busy Mac.

Install or update

  1. Download LearnTranscriber-arm64.dmg below. It is for Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14 or newer.
  2. Open it and drag LearnTranscriber to Applications, replacing the older version if you have it. The permissions you granted stay, because every version is signed with the same certificate.
  3. The app is not notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks the first launch of each new version. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, choose Open Anyway next to LearnTranscriber and confirm with your password (Apple's instructions).

With Homebrew: brew tap learntranscriber/tap && brew trust learntranscriber/tap && brew install --cask learntranscriber (or brew upgrade --cask learntranscriber).

LearnTranscriber-arm64.dmg.sha256 holds the same value for shasum -a 256 -c, and LearnTranscriber-0.1.2-sbom.cdx.json lists what the app ships, in CycloneDX: the renderer's npm packages, Electron and the native helpers with their Swift packages.

The app is signed with the project's own code-signing certificate, LearnTranscriber Dev, the same one as 0.1.0 and 0.1.1.
