Bardo 1.1.0 fixes the first launch on new Macs, lets you choose how to transcribe, and adds a live recorder and a full player.

Fixed

  • First launch on a new Mac. Preparing transcription failed on every Mac that had never run Bardo. A fresh install now downloads and prepares everything as expected.
  • Mac audio over Bluetooth headsets no longer plays back six times too fast.

Transcription

  • Choose how to transcribe: Rápido (Apple's recognition, built into macOS 26 and later, no download), Equilibrado (Whisper Turbo, 646 MB) or Preciso (Whisper Large, 3.1 GB, the most accurate and slower). Manage them in Settings › Transcripción. Speaker identification is the same with any of them.
  • A welcome in two steps. On macOS 26 and later it suggests Rápido, so a new Mac only downloads 11 MB and can transcribe almost at once.
  • Paragraphs of a comfortable length, and play from any word with a click.

Recording

  • Choose the microphone and output, see a live waveform of the Mac's audio and your voice, pause (⌥⌘P) and mute your microphone (⌥⌘S).
  • Mark moments (⌥⌘N) and name sections (⇧⌥⌘N) while recording or playing.
  • Choose the audio quality and format, and compress a recording from Información.

Playback and participants

  • A full player with a waveform coloured by who speaks and subtitles that scroll like lyrics.
  • Skip silences per recording.
  • Merge participants that were told apart as two.

See CHANGELOG.md for everything.

Requirements

  • A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later. Rápido needs macOS 26 or later.
  • On first launch Bardo downloads its speaker resources (about 11 MB) and, if you choose Whisper, its speech model (646 MB or 3.1 GB). After that, it works offline.

Install

Open the DMG and drag Bardo to Applications. This build is signed ad hoc and is not notarized yet, so macOS blocks the first launch: open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway next to the message about Bardo.
