Trial: e-mail-requested trial license, 7 days, 120 minutes, up to 15 videos.

Highlights

What changed in alpha-0.2.6?

improved Cloud-only first-run readiness guidance, so a local Ollama translation model is not presented as mandatory for Cloud BYOK testing

Simple mode starts with a user-friendly Local vs Cloud BYOK choice
Advanced mode keeps detailed provider combinations and mixed modes
Groq ASR and Gemini/Groq LLM translation work through BYOK provider keys
API keys are session-only by default, with opt-in Windows Credential Manager storage
first-run setup is more Local/Cloud-aware with clearer missing-step recovery
translategemma:4b is recommended as the weak-PC first test, not the quality baseline
translategemma:27b has an explicit heavy-model warning before use
success, partial and failed run result panels make outputs easier to inspect
support bundle diagnostics include more metadata without private source video/audio content

Notes

Important limits

online video import is not part of this version
the product is not positioned as an enterprise localization platform
trial and license delivery are e-mail based at launch
the personal license is not positioned as a monthly subscription
fast processing is not guaranteed on weak machines; start with a smaller model and a short test
Cloud BYOK requires your own provider account and may send recognition or translation requests to that provider
