Transcripts 1.1.2

Mac

• The download is a disk image now, a classic drag-to-Applications window,
  signed and notarized by Apple like the app inside it. The app itself is the
  same as 1.1.1. The in-app updater and Homebrew still use the zip, so nothing
  changes for anyone already installed.

Transcripts 1.1.1

Mac

• An evening recorded on the iPad or iPhone now completes on the Mac. The Mac
  used to try to finish the session the moment the recordings arrived, before
  any were transcribed, and then count it as done. If they arrived during the
  game, it never looked again once the evening was over. Now it waits until
  every recording is transcribed and the session has ended, checks again every
  few minutes and at launch, and remembers across a restart which session each
  recording belonged to.
• Recordings from the iPad or iPhone file into their session's folder, the same
  as a session run on the Mac.
• Choosing a folder for your library or for the phone's recordings has no
  wrong answer. Pick iCloud Drive or OneDrive itself and Transcripts uses the
  Transcripts folder inside it, as the iPhone and iPad app does, creating it
  if it isn't there.

Transcripts 1.1.0

Everything from the 1.1 betas, for everyone. The changelog has each beta in detail.

Mac

• The overlay. A small glass panel over your call: the last thing said,
  and on hover the last conclusion, the facts and figures, and the last
  question with its answer. Answers come only from earlier in the call or from
  your own notes, and say which. Off by default; Settings ▸ General ▸ Overlay.
• Live text as it is spoken, not when a phrase ends, in the overlay's pill
  and in the live transcript file.
• Recordings of a room are split by voice. Turn on "My microphone records
  a room" and each voice gets a number or a remembered name, live and in the
  finished document.
• The other side of a call without Screen Recording. System audio comes
  through an ordinary Allow dialog now, which is what a managed Mac needed.
• A recording survives a restart. Quit, crash or update mid-meeting and it
  picks the same recording back up. A meeting that ended up in pieces anyway
  can be put back together, and a new recording never waits for the last one
  to finish processing.
• Muting in your call app no longer looks like a dead microphone, and
  Transcripts no longer switches microphones chasing it.
• The self-test checks the microphone and system audio together, the way a
  recording uses them. Before, it could report no system audio on a Mac whose
  calls recorded both sides.
• It installs itself: open it from Downloads and it offers to move into your
  own Applications folder.

iPhone and iPad

• Rename, archive and delete transcripts the Mac filed, not just recordings
  still waiting to be picked up.
• Recording notices interruptions through the audio session: a phone call,
  Siri, an alarm or another app. CallKit is gone, so the app can be offered in
  every storefront it is listed in.

Both

• Every turn carries the time it was spoken, and clicking one plays the audio
  from there.

Transcripts 1.1.0-beta.8

Mac

• Transcripts installs itself. Open it from wherever it landed — Downloads,
  the Desktop, a folder someone sent you — and it offers to move into
  ~/Applications, your own Applications folder, and reopen from there. No
  administrator, and nothing to know about where Mac apps are supposed to
  live. That was three pieces of Mac lore standing between a colleague and a
  working app, and it is the step people actually got stuck on. Say no and it
  will not ask again.
• The site links to the source, and says what a managed Mac actually needs.
  The advice to avoid GitHub is gone — corporate proxies were the reason, and
  the release downloads get through now, so both routes are offered. The
  Screen Recording advice is gone too: since beta.7 it is not used, and it was
  the one permission a managed Mac tends to lock behind an admin password.

Transcripts 1.1.0-beta.7

Mac

• The other side of a call no longer needs Screen Recording. Transcripts reads
  the system mix through a Core Audio tap now, and macOS grants that with an
  ordinary Allow dialog — no administrator, no trip through System Settings.
  That pane was the wall on managed laptops: Screen Recording has no inline
  prompt, so approving it needs an admin password many people cannot supply. A
  Mac that already granted Screen Recording keeps using it, so a setup that
  works today is left alone. The permission remains optional either way —
  decline it and recordings are microphone-only, which on a call means your
  side of it.
• Being muted no longer looks like a broken microphone. Muting in Teams, Slack
  or Control Center silences every input on the machine at once, and that was
  being read as a dead device: Transcripts would switch microphones under you
  — in one case as far as an iPhone — chasing signal that no device on the Mac
  was being given, and fragmenting the recording each time it tried. It now
  recognises the difference and says so instead. Your own side resumes the
  moment you unmute.
• macOS's internal audio aggregates are out of the microphone list.
  CADefaultDeviceAggregate appears whenever a call app turns on echo
  cancellation, and it was being offered as something to record from, named
  after an implementation detail. Aggregates you made yourself are still
  listed.

Transcripts 1.1.0-beta.4

Mac

• Voices in a room are named while the recording is still going. With the
  microphone records a room on, each turn in the live transcript gets a
  speaker — Speaker 1, Speaker 2, or a remembered name — instead of everything
  being "Me" until the finished document arrived. It is a live guess and not
  the record: a short interjection may take the label of whoever was already
  talking, two similar voices may come out as more speakers than there are,
  and nothing is revised once written. The finished document is unchanged and
  remains the version to trust. On a call nothing changes at all — the other
  side still arrives on its own track, which is better evidence than any
  clustering.
• A long stretch from one speaker breaks into paragraphs instead of growing
  into a single block. Each paragraph carries the time it began, so clicking a
  timestamp lands on the words you are reading rather than at the top of a
  ten-minute run.
• The transport icon is drawn at the size of its neighbours. It was about
  two-thirds the size of the other menu-bar icons, which read as "small"
  without being something you could name.
