Settings

Settings opens as a side sheet from the sidebar. The panels are General, Model, Transcribe, AI, Advanced and License.

General

• Language: nine UI languages.
• Theme: follow the system, light or dark.
• Mirror: download mirror for models and helper binaries.
• Analytics: anonymous usage analytics, on by default; can be turned off.
• Storage and backup: database backup and restore, log export.

Model

Model Path

Directory where local ASR models are stored — Whisper, Qwen3-ASR and SenseVoice. Models download to the default path on first use; you can point the folder elsewhere.

Engines and Models

• Whisper: tiny → large-v3-turbo; VAD filtering and stable timestamps. Fastest to most accurate.
• Qwen3-ASR: 0.6B (~1.7 GB) and 1.7B (~4.5 GB); strongest for Chinese, dialects and Chinese-English code-switching. Add the optional Forced Aligner for frame-accurate subtitle timing.
• SenseVoice: sherpa-onnx, runs in-process; available on macOS and Linux today (Windows is not verified yet).

Switch the engine in Settings → Model. See Qwen3-ASR Engine and Transcription.

GPU Acceleration

• macOS: CoreML / ANE on Apple Silicon
• Windows / Linux: choose the GPU device index; Vulkan is supported

Transcribe

Language

• auto: detect automatically (slightly lower accuracy)
• A fixed language, e.g. zh, en, ja

Temperature

Controls sampling randomness. 0 is deterministic, 1 is the most random. Default 0; keep it unless you have a reason.

Stable Timestamps

Silero VAD-backed precise timestamp mode. More accurate subtitle timing when enabled, slightly slower.

Speaker Diarization

Downloads an extra model on first use. Up to four speakers.

Audio Enhancement

Denoise, voice boost and telephone-audio presets for low-quality recordings.

Recording

• Default device: microphone and system-audio device
• Format: WAV (lossless) or MP3 (compressed)
• Save path: default location for recordings
• Auto-transcribe: start transcription after recording

AI

LLM Provider

• Local: Ollama
• Cloud: Claude, OpenAI-compatible, DeepSeek, Gemini, Zhipu, DashScope (Qwen), OpenRouter, MiniMax

API Key and Endpoint

Enter the key and, when needed, the base URL. Keys are stored locally and never uploaded.

Prompt Templates

Edit the default prompts for summary, insights, chat, chapters, translation, proofread, cleanup, line breaking and dictation cleanup. Prompts bound to a parser (proofread, line breaking, translation) are shown read-only.

Export

• Default format: default export format
• Include timestamps: whether exports carry time information
• Encoding: UTF-8 or UTF-8 with BOM

Advanced

Watch folders, Webhook, remote locations (WebDAV / SMB), backups, shortcuts and log export.
