🎙️ Intelligent Speech-to-Text Upgrade
  • AI-Driven Sentence Detection: Replaced "silence timers" with AI that detects natural sentence endings for faster, more responsive translations.

  • Unified Language Models: Replaced regional accents with a single, high-performance model per language (e.g., one model for all English accents).

  • Swiss German Note: While Swiss German is supported, we recommend using High German for maximum accuracy. Please test your specific setup before going live.

  • Keyword Optimization: Added a 100-keyword limit to maintain high speeds. Your existing custom keywords have been prioritized.

  • Action Required: We recommend testing the new system before your next Sunday service.

💰 Simplified Pricing Model
  • No Hourly Fees: The €1.00 per hour Speech-to-Text fee has been completely removed.

  • Flat Translation Rate: Pricing is now a simple €0.01 per 150 characters translated.

  • Invoice Updates: Existing customers may still see a "Speech to Text" line item on upcoming invoices, but the charge will be €0.00 while we transition.

📱 Mobile App & Connectivity
  • Stabilized Connections: Fixed real-time connection issues, specifically improving reliability for iOS users.

  • Smart Reconnection: If a connection drops, the app now automatically reconnects and uses a 3-second "polling" system to ensure no translations are missed.

  • Legacy Support: Restored compatibility for older smartphones to ensure all congregation members can stay connected.

🛠️ Additional Improvements
  • Accurate "Users Online" Count: Overhauled the tracking system to provide significantly more accurate live attendance data.

  • Extended Dictate Mode: Removed the 1-hour auto-disconnect to allow for uninterrupted workflows.
