Describer Workbench 0.8.4 makes human review optional.

What changed:

  • Review is optional. Descriptions that the AI marked as unsure are now spoken in MP4, MP3 and WAV exports. Before, one Needs review description stopped the whole export.
  • The Needs review tag stays. Unsure descriptions keep the Needs review tag, the dashed border and the filter. You can still find and check them, but you do not have to.
  • New setting: Require review before media export. It is off by default. Turn it on in Settings > Export voice to get the old behavior: any Needs review description blocks MP4, MP3 and WAV export until a person checks it.
  • Subtitle exports did not change.

Why: in the 0.8.1 test (13 meeting videos, 105 descriptions graded by hand, gemma4:12b), 67.6 % of descriptions were correct and only 3.8 % were wrong or made up. Most drafts can be used without a person checking each one.

The drafting engine and the narration loudness are the same as 0.8.3. See the 0.8.3 release notes.

Updating on Windows:

  • From 0.8.3: use File > Check for updates.
  • From 0.8.2: update by hand. Close the app, unpack the Windows ZIP below into a new folder and start the new copy. The 0.8.2 in-app updater fails when the app was opened by double-click.

Known limits:

  • A description without the Needs review tag can still be wrong. The tag only marks what the AI said it was unsure about.
  • The model can still call something a vote when there is none.
  • Results change from run to run on the same video.
  • Preview playback in the app still uses the old volume. Only exports match the video loudness.

Downloads:

  • Windows x64 portable ZIP: signed as Scott Converse with Azure Trusted Signing, timestamped, and checked with Authenticode and signtool.
  • macOS Apple Silicon DMG: ad-hoc integrity signature only. No Apple publisher certificate or notarization.
  • Linux x64 DEB and portable archive: unsigned.
  • unix-media-sources-arm64.tar.gz: source code for the media tools inside the Mac app.
  • Python wheel, source package and offline documentation.
