Wave 1.2.0
Wave 1.2 adds Parakeet transcription, more precise audio editing and a consistent experience across Flow, Segments and the waveform.
- Choose between Whisper and NVIDIA Parakeet v3 in Settings. Both run locally; Parakeet supports English and 24 other European languages and includes word timing.
- Selections, corrections, added pauses and manual audio cuts stay in sync across both transcript views and the waveform. Segment timestamps also select a whole segment by mouse or keyboard.
- Playback, audio export and subtitles use the same edited timeline, with protected word boundaries and short fades at cuts.
- Zoom and trim more precisely with stable timing controls, cut navigation and improved keyboard controls.
- Added pauses appear in the waveform and can be resized from their transcript or waveform controls.
- Reopen a project at its saved playhead, selection, view and zoom position.
- AI agents can preview planned edits and review transitions before applying changes.
The website has also been redesigned as a simpler, scrolling single page.
