Many interesting features have been added, including a new faster-whisper ASR engine, LLM translation, Context-aware translation, and Japanese word segmentation!

Main Features

Add faster-whisper ASR engine

A faster-whisper engine has been added.
Compared to whisper.cpp, it has the advantage of no hallucinogenic bugs and accurate timestamps.
The engine must be downloaded from within the application.

Information on the ASR engine can be found below.

Add LLM translation engine (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, Claude)

Four new translation LLM engines have been added!
Ollama and LM Studio can run locally.
But they require a significant CPU/GPU.

It is now possible to run completely locally, including whisper!

Information on the translation engine can be found below.

Support Context-aware translation

Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, and Claude are LLM APIs, but I have added the ability to translate while preserving the context of the subtitles.

It allows for more accurate translations compared to Google and DeepL!
OpenAI and Claude have confirmed particularly high accuracy.

It is enabled by default.
You can customize the behavior a bit in the settings.

Japanese Word Segmentation

Special support for Japanese has been added.
Now you can click and translate word by word in subtitles.

Breaking changes

Some ASR and translation settings have been changed.

Update users who have changed their settings from the defaults may need to reconfigure them.
