Product updates

New Features

• Press ⌥⌘F in any app to open Send feedback. Attach a screenshot or a short video, leave contact details if you want a reply, and your draft stays put if you close the window.
• Copy transcript on a note's Transcript tab copies the meeting as Markdown, with who spoke and when, ready to paste into an AI chat or a doc.

Features & Improvements

• Cloud narration now renders just ahead of where you are listening, so stopping or skipping early no longer spends cloud voice minutes on audio you never hear.
• Show more opens a long narration on its own page, which scrolls along with playback. Show less or Esc takes you back.
• The floating player stays out of the way while the Narrator page's Now playing card is on screen, and comes back when you scroll past it.
• A numbered list selected in Chrome or another Chromium-based app is narrated as separate items instead of one run-on paragraph.
• Citation previews in meeting notes stay readable, and a preview you click stays open so you can copy from it.

Fixes

• Epilude no longer freezes for long stretches when macOS is slow to report on login items and background helpers.
• Scrolling a long Notetaker list, recording a meeting or downloading EP-1 no longer slows the app down.
• A paused narration no longer holds back app updates indefinitely.
• Narrator's sentence highlight no longer spills onto the blank line above a new paragraph.

Features & Improvements

• Settings search opens when you need it and keeps your search visible while results are filtered.
• Narrator's voice picker now identifies experimental languages, with a warning about pronunciation and pacing.

Fixes

• The main window restores at a readable size, preventing clipped content when reopening an older, smaller window.
• Narrator's skip interval options have enough room to show their full labels.
• Help links in What's New now open the correct page in your browser.
• Signing in now shows a loading screen that matches Epilude's appearance.

New Features

• Back and Forward move through the pages you have visited. Press ⌘[ and ⌘], use the Go menu, or click the side buttons on your mouse.
• Narrator imports EPUB books, with their chapters, and PDFs come in cleaned: headers, footers and page numbers are left out, two-column pages read in order, and scanned pages are recognized on your Mac.
• With nothing selected, ⌥⌘N reads the web page in front of you in Safari, Chrome and other Chrome-based browsers. A pasted link reads only the article. See Read the page you're on.
• Up Next lines up narrations to play one after another. Add one from its menu, drag it onto the Up Next card, or send selected text from any app with ⌥⇧⌘N. See Line up narrations with Up Next.
• Hear a meeting note or a dictation read aloud from the note's More menu or the Narrate button on a dictation. A note that stayed on your Mac is read with the EP-1 voice.
• Continue listening picks any narration up at the sentence where you stopped, from the Narrator page, your library or the menu bar.
• Narrator has a sleep timer and chapters. Stop after 15 to 60 minutes or at the end of the chapter, with a short fade.
• Narrator playback shortcuts work in any app. Set them under Settings → Hotkeys → Features → Playback; see Narrator keys and shortcuts.
• Choose how narrated text looks with Aa on the Now playing card: the typeface, including Atkinson Hyperlegible, text size, spacing, highlight color and line focus.

Features & Improvements

• Narrator starts speaking sooner and plays long documents more smoothly. Progress and scrubbing follow the whole document instead of one audio chunk.
• Teach Narrator how to say a word with Pronounce as in Vocabulary.

Fixes

• A live transcript stays where you scroll while new words arrive. Use the button at the bottom to jump back to the newest line.

New Features

• Narrator reads any text aloud: select it, press ⌥⌘N, and a small player follows along word by word. Drag the player anywhere, or shrink it with –.
• The EP-1 voice reads on your Mac with no limit, in six languages. Cloud voices come with a monthly allowance of minutes.
• Share a narration as a link that plays in any browser. Stop Sharing deletes it from Epilude's servers.
• Highlight text in any app and click the indicator beside it to rewrite, shorten, translate, or run your saved actions. Turn it on in Settings → Actions.
• The dictation indicator can sit under your insertion point: choose the caret dot in Settings → Dictation.
• Epilude now updates itself, installing when you are not using your Mac.
• Any extra mouse button can be a hotkey: press it when recording a shortcut. Shortcut labels now match your keyboard layout.
• Notetaker keeps every version of a note. Review update shows a regenerated note beside your edits, and Versions restores any of the last 20.
• Listen to citation plays that moment of the meeting when Save audio recordings is on, and Speakers and source history… lets you correct the transcript and name speakers.

Features & Improvements

• A meeting keeps the settings it started with when you change them mid-meeting. Summaries pause without a connection and pick up where they left off, even after a crash.

Fixes

• When a dictation can't be pasted, a notice now appears over the app you are in.
• Notetaker warns when your microphone drops, such as when a lid closes or a headset unplugs, and lets you switch in one click.

Actions and cloud voices need a subscription or trial. How Narrator works says what leaves your Mac; Keeping Epilude up to date covers turning automatic installs off.

Features & Improvements

• Notetaker no longer carries a Beta badge.
• The live transcript in a note stays where you scrolled, rather than snapping to the newest line on every new sentence.
• Find in transcript (⌘F) opens instantly and keeps up as you type, even on long notes that used to stall for seconds per keystroke.

Fixes

• Downloading the Mac app now reliably starts a file save; it used to occasionally do nothing.
• The download page offers to copy the link on a phone or iPad, rather than handing over a file nothing on the device can open.
• Signing in from a phone now lands on the dashboard instead of the Mac install page.
• The web dashboard stops scrolling sideways on a phone.
