Release Notes

Smoother performance during peak Sunday traffic

Behind-the-scenes work to keep live translation fast and stable when many churches are broadcasting at the same time.

• ImprovedReduced backend database load by more than 90% during live sessions, so translation and audio delivery stay smooth even during your busiest, highest-attendance services.
• ImprovedSession transcripts, playback stats, and usage metrics now save in efficient batches instead of one at a time, eliminating small lag spikes during long services.
• ImprovedSign-in and permission checks now respond faster for admins and operators managing an active session.

Security hardening and waitlist signup fix

• SecurityStrengthened access controls on live session management so only authenticated admins and operators can pause, resume, or stop a broadcast.
• SecurityAdded stricter rate limiting to public viewer links and closed a gap that allowed the anti-bot check to be skipped outside of local development.
• FixedFixed an issue where the homepage waitlist signup form could return an error and fail to save new subscribers.

Cleaner billing experience and an audio quality fix

• FixedFixed a bug that caused some listeners to hear translated audio play twice in quick succession (an echo-like "double voice").
• FixedFixed a network error that could prevent saving or deleting overlay screens from the admin dashboard.
• NewRedesigned the Billing page with clearer plan and payment status, and added a guided flow for churches transitioning off a pilot plan to select a paid plan and add a payment method.
• ImprovedAccount admins can now manage billing directly, in addition to organization owners.

Live worship controls, mic switching, and translation quality

• NewYou can now switch your live microphone mid-service without interrupting speech recognition or translation.
• NewSession controls (language settings, overlay preferences, and more) are now remembered between sessions instead of resetting every time.
• NewListener audio now automatically re-syncs after a brief network drop using a rolling replay buffer, so viewers catch back up smoothly instead of losing their place.
• ImprovedHigher concurrent-listener limits for church Wi-Fi networks, and safeguards to keep larger organizations from hitting unexpected caps.
• ImprovedSignificantly improved Portuguese translation quality, including more natural phrasing for prayers and common idioms.
• ImprovedMore reliable on-screen overlay (ProPresenter-style) presence detection, reducing false "disconnected" states during long services.

Cleaner operator experience

• ImprovedSimplified the language shown to Operators and Account Admins in logs, settings, and voice management screens — no more confusing internal engine names, just clear plain-language status.

Voice cloning studio and playback reliability

• NewRedesigned the Voice Cloning Studio with a clearer 3-step workflow: record, review your recording, and try your new voice in a playground before publishing it.
• FixedFixed a bug where certain sessions using AI-generated speech could stall or skip audio due to an internal duration miscalculation.
• FixedListeners who briefly reconnect (e.g., after a dropped connection) no longer miss the next segment of translated audio.

Smarter glossary, adaptive playback, and interface fixes

• NewCustom glossary terms now support case-sensitive matching, so a term like "Lord" only applies with the exact capitalization you intend.
• ImprovedRebuilt glossary translation handling to be more reliable across all supported languages, removing an occasional translation quota error.
• ImprovedPlayback now smoothly speeds up to help listeners catch back up to live, reducing unnecessary skips. During sustained overload or an unrecoverable connection gap, older audio may still be skipped to keep listeners near live.
• ImprovedFaster loading for voice lists and engine settings thanks to smarter caching.
• FixedFixed the language switcher dropdown appearing behind the translation feed on the viewer page.

Multi-language broadcasting foundation

• NewChurches can now translate and broadcast to multiple languages at the same time, each with its own live audio channel for listeners.
• NewAdded additional speech-recognition engine options for improved accuracy across accents and audio conditions.
• ImprovedStandardized and simplified the glossary management interface.
