Bardo 1.1.2

Bardo 1.1.2 stops writing words over silence, lets you listen to chosen participants only, and opens the full player with its waveform ready.

Transcription

• No more words over silence. Whisper wrote stock phrases such as "Thank you." over silent stretches, once every 22 seconds while a microphone was muted. Text whose audio never rises above room noise is now left out, as it is heard and in the finished transcript. Transcribe a conversation again to clean it.

Playback

• Listen to some participants only. In the full player, Opciones › Escuchar a lets you choose whom to hear; what the others say is skipped, together with silences if you skip those too.
• The waveform is ready sooner. It is read as soon as you choose a recording, both tracks at once. If it is still being read, placeholder bars stand in and the real ones fade in.

Design

• The participants button keeps its avatars as close to the edge as to the top.

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.
