Quran Caption QC-3.5.60
Quran Caption v3.5.60
This major update introduces full undo and redo support, automatic WBW timestamp realignment, translation word highlighting, built-in stock media search, a new local segmentation model, and major performance improvements for large projects.
Undo and Redo
-
Added undo and redo support across the software
You can now reverse or restore changes using:
Ctrl + Zto undoCtrl + Shift + ZorCtrl + Yto redo
This applies to editing actions throughout Quran Caption and makes experimentation much safer.
Word-by-Word Timing
-
Added on-demand and automatic WBW timestamp alignment
Contribution by @HetchyWhen the start or end time of a subtitle clip is changed in the timeline, its word-by-word timestamps are now automatically fetched and realigned.
This avoids having to manually regenerate WBW timing after every subtitle adjustment.
-
Added a glow style for the word currently being recited
-
Added manual line-break styling for Arabic WBW text
This allows you to force a new line before a specific Arabic word.
-
Updated the Quran Multi-Aligner data download URLs for local Quran Universal Aligner segmentation
Word-by-Word Translation Highlighting
-
Added WBW highlighting for translations
In addition to highlighting the current Arabic word, Quran Caption can now highlight its corresponding word or expression inside the translation.
-
Added AI-assisted Arabic-to-translation word matching
The AI can identify which translated words correspond to each Arabic word, reducing the amount of manual setup required.
-
CJK translations can now be styled character by character
This improves individual styling support for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text.
-
Fixed unwanted spaces in merged Chinese translations
AI Segmentation
-
Added a new ONNX-based Surah Splitter
This provides a better local model for automatic Quran recitation segmentation.
-
Segmentation results now display clearer review counts, including:
- low-confidence subtitles
- subtitles with missing coverage
This makes it easier to understand how much manual review is still required.
Stock Images and Videos
-
Added built-in Pexels and Pixabay search
You can now search for and import stock videos or images directly from the editor without downloading them manually outside Quran Caption.
Performance
-
Reduced preview and timeline lag, especially on long surahs and large projects
Calculations that have already been completed are now reused instead of being unnecessarily repeated.
This significantly improves editor responsiveness.
Translations
-
Added numeral style customization for verse numbers
Verse numbers can now use different numeral systems, including:
- Western Arabic numerals
- Persian numerals
- Urdu numerals
- Hindi numerals
-
Added max-line support for translations
Translation text can now automatically shrink to remain within a chosen maximum number of lines.
-
Added manual line-break styling for translation text
This allows you to force a new line before a specific word in the translation.
-
Removed AI translation telemetry consent and related translation data collection
Surah Information
- Added Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese translations for surah names
Export
-
Increased export clarity by improving the descriptions of the available performance profiles
-
Fixed the Export Monitor displaying four steps when the new export pipeline only uses three
-
Background processing cache is now separated by export profile
Changing the export quality or performance profile will no longer reuse an incompatible cached background from a previous export.
-
Added runtime frame-capture logs
These logs provide more information about what is happening during export and make debugging easier.
-
Subtitle and YouTube chapter exports can now be given a custom filename, just like video exports
Community Styles
-
Community styles are now sorted by number of downloads by default
This makes the most popular styles easier to discover.
Search
-
Added a clear button to search fields on the homepage and inside the editor
This allows the current search to be reset with one click.
Timeline and Preview
- Fixed background images disappearing from the timeline
Homepage
- Added a support progress bar
Interface and Localization
- Added the previously missing labels for the vertical and horizontal position of verse numbers
