What's New
Local Inference — Custom Translation Prompt
-
Edit the system prompt your local translation model receives. Qwen-family models now get a dedicated Translation Prompt section in settings with two modes:
- Simple — a read-only preview of the improved default prompt.
- Advanced — two freeform textareas (one for you, one for other participants) where you can write your own instructions.
-
Fixes the "chat instead of translate" problem. Small models like Qwen3 0.6B sometimes misread Chinese input like "我想问一些问题" as a question and respond "Sure, how can I help you?" instead of translating. You can now override the prompt to enforce strict translation behavior.
-
Works per-direction. Your prompt applies to your speaking direction; the participant prompt applies to the reverse direction (which may use a different Qwen model). Non-Qwen translation models (Opus-MT, TranslateGemma) can't consume freeform prompts and show the section as disabled with an explanation.
Volcengine AST2 — Custom Vocabulary
-
Three new library ID fields for the Volcengine self-learning platform, letting you bias recognition and translation toward your own terminology:
- Hot words — improves ASR accuracy for proper nouns and domain-specific terms.
- Replacement — post-processing text replacements on recognized speech.
- Glossary — source→target term pairs that guide translation output.
-
Paste the library IDs from your Volcengine account into the new Custom Vocabulary section; they're passed on every recognition request.
Conversation Display Improvements
-
Slack-style conversation rows — per-speaker avatars and filter buttons make it easier to follow who said what in multi-participant sessions.
-
Compact conversation mode — a denser layout option for when you want to see more history at once without scrolling.
-
Role-colored translation badges — translations from participants are highlighted in a distinct color (orange) so you can tell at a glance which side of the conversation each line came from.
